A suburban woman discovers her own wild spirit in this “suspenseful…dark, romantic meditation on what it means to be human”(The New Yorker) from the bestselling author of The Rules of Magic.
Robin Moore, coping with a divorce and a troubled teen-aged son, impulsively rescues a strange man from a psychiatric ward—a beautiful, uncivilized innocent who has been raised in the wilderness and possesses no more sophistication than a child. But when she brings him home to her perfectly ordered neighborhood, the events that follow cause Robin to question her wisdom and doubt her own heart—and, ultimately, to change all of her ideas about love and humanity.
“Her richest and wisest, as well as her boldest, novel to date.”—The New York Times Book Review
