Set in the 17th century, the action shifting from Holland to England and back again, this is the extraordinary story of Ned Malise a dreamy, impoverished musician whose unwilling mission in life is to avenge his family's wrongs. Then suddenly to his horror he begins to turn into a wolf. Brilliant research and characterisation, luminous writing, this psychological thriller is, as the jacket claims, 'a dazzling novel of love, science and superstition'.
