Synopsis

As she falls in love with the wildlife biologist whose wolf leads a pack of feral dogs, Alice feels the tug between love's wild power and her desire to domesticate it. From the author of The Lost Garden, Wild Dogs strips away the conventions of love and passion to reveal deeper, richer truths.

About this title

Review:

A sensual, romantic, and brutally wise novel that will leave readers gasping. Every sentence Humphrey writes is a blow to the heart.--Emma Donoghue

The world Humphreys describes in Wild Dogs is haunting.--Jodi Daynard

Magnificent fiction that evokes the . . . connection between humans and the natural world. . . . Brings to mind Margaret Atwood's Surfacing.

Synopsis:

When her dog joins a feral pack after being abandoned by her boyfriend, Alice and five companions gather in the evenings by the edge of a forest, trying to call the dogs back into domesticity, in a tale that traces the experiences of each former dog owner and finds Alice moving to a cabin and falling in love with a wildlife biologist. 20,000 first
