    • A wild and gripping novel about one woman's quest to reintroduce wolves to the Scottish Highlands at any cost. Inti Flynn arrives in the Scottish Highlands with fourteen grey wolves, a traumatised sister and fierce tenacity. As a biologist, she knows the animals are the best hope for rewilding the ruined landscape and she cares little for local opposition. As a sister, she hopes the remote project will offer her twin, Aggie, a chance to heal after the horrific events that drove them both out of Alaska. But violence dogs their footsteps and one night Inti stumbles over the body of a farmer. Unable to accept that her wolves could be responsible, she makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didn't make the kill, then who did? And can she trust the man she is beginning to love when he becomes the main suspect? Propulsive and unforgettable, Once There Were Wolves is the spellbinding story of a woman desperate to save her family, the wild animals, and the natural world she loves, at any cost. 'Blazing...Visceral...As McConaghy shows in this stunning book, the limits of language lead us to the limits of empathy.'

      Nakon nekoliko pročitanih stranica, pomislio sam: "Bože! Da sam ovo čitao prije četrdesetak godina, kada se rodio moj sin!" Ova knjiga je dragocjeni poklon mladim očevima koji, unatoč podršci žena, osjećaju usamljenost. Izreka "Za igru je potrebno dvoje" naglašava važnost uloge žene u životu muškarca koji želi postati drugačiji otac. Paulova supruga ostavila mu je prostor da bude otac kakav želi, dok majčinstvo nije jedini identitet. Njihovo zajedničko iskustvo pokazuje da roditeljstvo nema granica i ne zahtijeva posesivnost ili stroge granice. Većina moje generacije bila je emocionalno nepismena, a Paul O’Grady dolazi iz kulture u kojoj muškarci otvoreno govore o javnim pitanjima, ali ne i o sebi. Ova knjiga nudi muškarcima priliku da otkriju bogatstvo komunikacije u sebi, dok ženama pomaže da bolje razumiju svoje partnere. Paul O’Grady, izvršni poslovni coach i arhitekt, rođen je u Dublinu 1975. godine, a nakon putovanja i rada u Americi i Australiji, preselio se u Hrvatsku. Osnovao je humanitarnu udrugu za djecu s posebnim potrebama i otvorio školu irskog plesa. Iskustvo očinstva inspiriralo ga je da napiše ovu knjigu.
