THE WOLF’S LEGACY

Author(s): Michèle Callard

Location(s): Cévennes (Cevennes)

Genre(s): Fiction, Historical

Era(s): Present time/End of WW2

When Orla leaves Dublin for Paris to trace the father she never met, her quest takes her to a forgotten village in the Cévennes where she stumbles on disturbing memories. A moving tale of love and loss, the Wolf’s legacy sweeps through WW2, the chic but rigid world of Parisian aristocracy, the student revolts of May 68 and ends in present time with, in the background, the terrible legend of the Gévaudan beast, a mythical wolf that, for Orla, may prove to be more than a myth.
