Description
In the threatened jungles of the Borderlands between Nepal and India in the 1970s, an orphaned boy is drawn into a world where elephants are both livelihood and legacy. As he learns the skills, responsibilities, and deep bonds required to become an elephant driver, he confronts the forces reshaping his home—human ambition, environmental change, and the fragile future of wildlife. Blending coming-of-age momentum with vivid natural history, the story explores themes of belonging, stewardship, and the intelligence of nonhuman lives. With lyrical, immersive storytelling and a keen eye for the rhythms of the wild, this novel invites readers to consider what it means to listen—to animals, to place, and to one’s own calling.
