Jake Whyte has made herself a life of solitude in an old farmhouse on a nameless island off the British coast, where the rain never stops and the wind batters everything; her only company is her dog, called Dog, and her sheep. Then, every few nights, something kills one of the flock and leaves it in shreds. It might be foxes, or the odd boy and man she has seen about, or a creature rumoured to roam the island. Or it might be her own history, buried half a world away in Australia and marked in the scars across her back, finally breaking into her present. Moving between the island and the very different Australian landscape of her earlier life, the novel shows how a terrible past made the woman she is.
