In his new novel Brian Carter tells the moving story of Paul Revilious,a retired schoolmaster, and the Devon coombe and house which he inherits.He decides to maintain the property in its unspoilt character and to let it copses, hedges,fields and river banks become sanctuaries for the local wildlife.He has to deal with opposition and his new Eden becomes vulnerable when a sinister neighbour has other plans for the land.
Into this world of threatened ideals come the otters who synbolize for Revilious the sanctity of life.
Brian Carter again brings a rare gift of authenticity and talent for detail to the way he writes about the worlds of animals and people, and the ways in which those worlds meet.
