Description
A wrenching exploration of love and betrayal, duty and loyalty, and the vexed relationship between man and nature--from the acclaimed author of Atlas of Unknowns. - "Impressive ... captivating." --The New York Times Book Review
The Tusk That Did the Damage is an utterly contemporary story about an ancient and majestic elephant, and his dangerous connection to the land and the people around him. Orphaned by poachers as a calf and sold into a life of labor, Gravedigger has broken free of his chains and is terrorizing the South Indian countryside. Caught up in the violence are the studious younger son of a rice farmer drawn into the sordid world of poaching; and a young American documentary filmmaker engaged in a risky affair with the veterinarian who is her subject. In three intertwined storylines--one of them narrated by the elephant himself--Tania James crafts a heartbreaking tale of the ivory trade, exploring the porous boundary between conservation and corruption.
