A beautiful book, savage and tender by turns ... attending to Esther Freuds still, truthful voice becomes not only a pleasure but a necessityJonathan Coe

Nine-year-old Tess has never seen anything like The Wild.
An old bakery, converted into a home, it has a fireplace big enough to sit in, a garden with a badminton net and another one for vegetables. And then theres William, its owner. Single father of three, he cooks homemade ravioli, cuts trees down with a chainsaw and plays the guitar. When her mother, Francine, rents two rooms from him, Tess can hardly believe her luck.
Her brother Jake, however, proves harder to convince. As the two grown-ups begin to fall for each other, Tess struggles to please the adults as well as win Jake round. But she finds that good intentions dont always bring happiness and that adults are disturbingly capable of making mistakes...
