Chaired by Geordie Williamson.

Charlotte McConaghy’s follow-up to her intense and acclaimed The Last Migration is Once There Were Wolves. Biologist Inti Flynn returns to Scotland with her twin sister Aggie on a quest to reintroduce fourteen grey wolves to the remote Highlands. Facing opposition from the local farmers, Inti’s project becomes increasingly challenging. And then a local farmer turns up dead. A compelling combination of literary fiction and murder mystery, Once There Were Wolves is lush, vivid and propulsively gripping.
