Publisher's Synopsis
In the High Country an old man lives with his chickens, his dog, and his memories of his son, his daughter-in-law and her child; of the commune where they lived, and of their final journey together. When his dog goes missing he comes upon a cage full of rabbits destined for live-baiting, a discovery that propels him along a hard road into his past. Toroa explores the interconnectedness of love and suffering, subverting human/non-human boundaries, asserting the power of memory to recall a life lived with love and with literature as our moral and aesthetic compass.
