"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.
