Wolf Solent
by John Cowper Powys
“Between the myth in his mind and the dirt of the earth lies a man's search for himself.”
Returning to the rustic, mist-soaked landscapes of his Dorset childhood, history teacher Wolf Solent seeks refuge from the suffocating modernity of London. But as he uncovers the dark secrets of his family's past, he must struggle to maintain his fragile inner world against the raw, visceral realities of provincial life.
