SYNOPSIS: “In the city of Sylvow, brother and sister Claudia and Leo Vestra make a childhood promise to each other: he would look after the plants and she would look after the animals. Unlike most promises, both of these were kept – each in their own way.
Claudia is now a vet looking after pampered pets or putting down strays and leading a mundane life in the city.
Leo, on the other hand, disenchanted with modern urban life, has abruptly abandoned his wife and disappeared into the surrounding forest, his only contact with the outside world being a sequence of dramatic and prophetic letters – increasingly convinced that a semi-sentient natural world is preparing to rebel against its human irritants.”
