Hailed as 'a writer of show-stopping genius' by the Guardian and 'one of the finest writers at work today' by Damon Galgut, Sarah Hall presents a gripping tale of wilderness and human nature in 'The Wolf Border'. This Booker Prize-shortlisted novel follows Rachel Caine, a wolf expert who returns to England after nearly a decade's absence, summoned by the eccentric Earl of Annerdale to assist with his audacious plan to reintroduce wolves to his Lake District estate.
As Rachel grapples with family reconciliation, her work ignites public fury and the looming threat of sabotage. Set against the backdrop of Scottish independence and local power struggles, Hall weaves a narrative that is, in the words of Val McDermid, 'so vivid, so visceral, so vital'. 'The Wolf Border' delves deep into the untamed realms of both the natural world and the human psyche, exploring the delicate balance between civilisation and wildness.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
