The Sounder by Jade Angeles Fitton

Rural ideologies clash over the release of wild boar onto Dartmoor

"Extinction had sounded so irrevocable, but watching them alive in their old habitat felt like a beginning, a window into a countryside that was less complacent, in which there was space for - this."

Ruby has returned home to Devon but is viewed by some in the rural community as an incomer. Tensions rise when she's tasked with culling a sounder of wild boar suspected of having been illegally released.
