WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING meets EVELYN HUGO in this witty and thought-provoking women's fiction novel about two starkly different women, colliding when the Wild calls upon both of them for help...

Grace Thompson, a career-obsessed London journalist, is assigned to report on Mardy Adler, an alleged elephant whisperer in South Africa with a truly uncanny ability to communicate with wild animals. Grace is dead certain Mardy is a fraud, until Mardy starts messing with her head, and before long, both women must question much of what they thought they knew...

As Grace's assignment takes her deep into the South African wilderness, she comes face-to-face with elephants, rhinos, and ? most frightening ? her true self. Alongside her, an old flame sparks unwanted emotions, complicating her expedition, and as the wild landscape tests her, Grace's ambition and resolve are profoundly shaken.

But just when she lowers her defences and revaluates not only Mardy's intentions but also her own life choices, she finds that the story she came to write has unravelled into something entirely unexpected...
