Margot P

Rich tale of our basic humanity
Incredible story! The parallels between the wolves and humans in this short, lush novel set in the Scottish highlands are presented so poetically it almost takes your breath away. Our powers to love, hurt, destroy are laid out brilliantly through the various characters including the wolves. This seems to be a much more accessible novel than her first, Migrations.
