Where The Serpent Lives - Softcover
Married to dangerously charismatic Tyler, despairing of her teenage son's silences and alienated from her zoologist father, Rosamund feels cut off from the world of her Indian childhood. What of she goes back into it? This is a mesmerising tale of love, terror, renewal, and the place of wild nature in all our lives.

Ruth Padel, author of Darwin - A Life in Poems and Tigers in Red Weather, is a award-winning poet and great great grand-daughter of Charles Darwin.

Review:
I didn't want to stop reading the book once I'd started, mainly because of Padel's fiercely brilliant way of noticing. She has a great sense of myth and an exquisite way of telling a story Andrew O' Hagan 'An intensely readable parable of love and fear' Daily Mail 'The prose is often beautiful, as one would expect of a writer tipped as a future poet laureate' The Times 'Compelling ... Where the Serpent Lives is a novel you will not lightly forget' Guardian
