Summer of the Red Wolf

All the magic, the mystery, the primitive force of its island setting pervade this enchanting work. It is the story of two men and two women, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, the far islands where the land falls into the sea and there is nothing between the last crags and the coast of America. At first glance it is a very simple story- of love, rivalry, brother hood and epic violence. At second glance it is something else- an evocation in the form of a novel of the flight of modern man from a civilization which has grown too complex for his frail spirit.
