    About this audiobook

    Sixteen-year-old Billy and his brother Boyd are fascinated by an elusive wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. Billy captures the animal – but rather than kill it, sets out impulsively for the mountains of Mexico to return it to where it came from. Billy returns, finding himself and his world have irrevocably changed. His loss of innocence has come at a price, and once again the border beckons with its desolate beauty and cruel promise.

      McCarthy construye una portentosa novela sobre el crecimiento, la pérdida y el camino. Billy, un adolescente que al iniciar la narración no tiene trece años, aprende sobre la condición humana en los tres viajes que hace desde Nuevo México, donde ha vivido desde que tiene memoria hasta México, primero para llevar una loba, después para buscar junto con su hermano menor unos caballos que eran de su padre y después para buscar a su hermano. Con una prosa delicada, pero no por ello afectada y que no teme a la crudeza, McCarthy lleva a sus lectores por Nuevo México, Arizona, por el nororiente de Sonora y el noroccidente de Chihuahua.
