description: Set on the Siberian savannah, THE ANIMAL WIFE is the fascinating tale of a tribe at the dawning of time--and of Kori, the questing young man who defied his clan and his powerful father for the love of a passionate stranger. Acting on a mixture of impulse, lust and unnamed yearning, Kori abducted the woman as she swam alone in a pool on his father's hunting land. At night, in the lodge, he caressed his exotic captive; by day, she slowly learned the ways of his people. Slave and stranger, she could never be a wife, yet she gave him a son and joy beyond imagining. But Kori, who stalked as one with the tiger, the lion the wolf, fell victim to a secret taboo that shattered his happiness. Now he would embark on the greatest, most dangerous hunt of all...
