What is accomplished botanical illustrator Meredith Wells to think when her erstwhile friend, Tristan Wolfe, son of a Russian shipping tycoon, fails to reappear for five full years after a childhood of island summers spent together? Until his yacht capsizes her skiff, she assumed he had forgotten her. Wolfe and Merediths reunion is a spectacle, but nothing compared to the accidental circulation of her anatomical studies…of him. Meredith is convinced her titillating drawings will lead to a lucrative career, and even progress the womans movement. If only she could persuade Wolfe to assist with her scientific rendering of his anatomic detail. Set against a lush American landscape in 1893, Wolfe Island is the story of two people deeply connected to the region and to each other.

Giulia Torre reads, writes, and thinks about books. She lives in a small town with a thriving Main Street in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, where she plays with her neighbors in lakes, yards, and barns.
Giulia has her Ph.D. in Reading/Writing/Literacy from the University of Pennsylvania, where she focused her research on reader-response and the social life of literature. Before earning her Ph.D, she completed doctoral coursework in eighteenth-century literature at the University of Washington in St. Louis, where she studied literary community and the quixotic principle.
