Book Description
Agli inizi dell'anno 1330, dal punto di vista climatico, si ebbe ciò che fu definita una "piccola glaciazione". Cominciarono annualità consecutive di grandi piogge accompagnate dal freddo, umidità ed aumento dei ghiacciai. Il freddo impediva la maturazione e la raccolta del grano, l'umidità impediva la formazione del sale, indispensabile nel medioevo per conservare la carne, scarsa la produzione di cereali. Inevitabilmente fu crisi dell'agricoltura, i contadini spinti da miseria e carestia lasciavano i campi riversandosi nelle città in cerca di benessere. Villaggi interi restarono disabitati. I feudatari, ricchi proprietari terrieri, perdono di conseguenza il loro potere economico derivante unicamente dalla terra. La produzione agricola risulta inesistente. Crollano i consumi, la manodopera, crolla anche il mercato immobiliare e, con la crisi del commercio e dei mercati, inizia il fallimento delle banche. Nessuno era preparato a tale eventualità, si diffuse il panico.

Ever since their father's untimely death five years before, Wyatt Smith and his inseparably close twin sister, Lucy, have scraped by alone on their family's isolated ranch in Box Elder County, Utah. That is until one morning when, just after spotting one of their steers lying dead in the field, Wyatt is hit in the arm by a hail of gunfire that takes four more cattle with it. The shooter: a fever-eyed, fearsome girl-child with a TEC-9 in her left hand and a worn shotgun in her right. They hold the girl captive, but she breaks loose overnight and heads south into the desert. With the dawning realization that the loss of cattle will mean the certain loss of the ranch, Wyatt feels he has no choice but to go after her and somehow find restitution for what's been lost. Wyatt's decision sets him on an epic twelve-day odyssey through a nightmarish underworld he only half understands; a world that pitches him not only against the primordial ways of men and the beautiful yet brutally unforgiving landscape, but also against himself. As he winds his way down from the mountains of Box Elder to the mesas of Monument Valley and back, Wyatt is forced to look for the first time at who he is and what he’s capable of, and how those hard truths set him irrevocably apart from the one person he’s ever really known and loved. Steeped in a mythic, wildly alive language of its own, and gripping from the first gunshot to the last, Rough Animals is a tour de force from a powerful new voice.
