Description
VINTAGE EARTH - Change the story. Novels to transform our relationship with the natural world.
The Tusk That Did the Damage begins with a young elephant, brutally orphaned by poachers, who starts terrorising the countryside. He earns his malevolent name, the Gravedigger, from the humans he kills and then tenderly buries with leaves.
Manu, the studious son of a rice farmer, loses his cousin to the Gravedigger and is drawn into the alluring world of ivory hunting.
Emma is working on a documentary set in a Kerala wildlife park with her best friend. Her work leads her to witness the porous boundary between conservation and corruption, until eventually she finds herself caught up in her own betrayal.
'One of the most unusual and affecting books... a compulsively readable, devastating novel' - Jonathan Safran Foer
