Wild Nature Meets Human Drama

The Loop by Nicholas Evans, published in 1999 by Corgi, is a powerful and emotionally charged novel that explores the tension between civilization and the wild, love and loss, tradition and change. Known for his bestselling debut The Horse Whisperer, Evans once again delivers a gripping, heartfelt story set against the rugged beauty of the American West.

A Town Divided by Fear and Loyalty

In the remote town of Hope, Montana, the reintroduction of wolves into the wilderness has sparked fierce opposition from local ranchers. When a young boy is mauled, the community turns on biologist Helen Ross, who’s leading the controversial program. As she battles fear, ignorance, and her own painful past, Helen forms a bond with Luke, the teenage son of one of her fiercest opponents—a bond that threatens to tear the town apart.

A Story of Redemption, Love, and the Wild

The Loop is a deeply human story about healing and understanding—between people, and between humanity and nature. Evans combines rich storytelling with emotional depth and environmental themes that feel as relevant now as ever.

Perfect for Fans of Heartfelt, Nature-Infused Fiction

Ideal for readers who loved The Horse Whisperer, this novel delivers sweeping drama, romance, and the haunting call of the wild.
