This poetic and reflective novel will take you to the forests of Smand, Sweden. As wild boars reclaim their place, three characters navigate love, loss, belonging and the passing of time. A quiet, moving story where human emotions intertwine with nature, reminding us of its strength and the impact we have on it.
To witness. To contain. To hunt.
People in Småland are being provoked into action by a destructive species. It moves in packs at night. Gardens are being destroyed, farmland churned up. Yet its illusiveness draws in both visitors and inhabitants.
The forests of this stony province are home to a growing population of wild boar once on the verge of extinction. Told by three people newly arrived in an isolated community, Wild Boar is a compelling and poetic debut from Finnish/Swedish author Hannah Lutz about animals and people, their places in a changing ecosystem, and their capacities to grow and to destroy.
