Over dit audioboek

A famous writer travels to the remote, windswept islands of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides looking for peace of mind and a chance to dispel his inner demons. On the way, a car accident throws him together with the raven-haired doctor Kathleen McNeil. He also falls in with the Red Wolf, a man who lives by the old codes – some of them violent. As a love triangle develops, the refined, civilised writer finds himself pitted against the rough-hewn man of nature. Summer of the Red Wolf is an epic story for a modern age – a fast-paced narrative in a rugged landscape, driven by the timeless themes of love and jealousy.
