I wanted to write something from the perspective of the people whose responsibility it often is to deal with these unlicensed releases. Regardless of whether or not they like that responsibility’s consequence in these instances, or whether they ultimately hope for a future in which these creatures exist in the wild, the buck often falls with them. The story is about rural ideologies, the many fors and againsts, and looking for balance in an environment that is intrinsically off-kilter.

Her translation will be read on Radio 4s ‘Book At Bedtime’ on October 19th: meaning the rest of the family, myself included, can finally give up and bask in her glow. Put it in your diary and listen to it – or read the book xx
