Raw, powerful, sad, hopeful, violent, beautiful – these all describe one of the most compelling books I have read this year. The story of wolves and how they live and breed and communicate, how hard it is to reintroduce them to an area where they are feared and misunderstood, and how vital they are to help the environment would be enough reason to read this book. But it is also a story of twins and the utterly amazing bond between them, it is a story of past trauma and how it affects people in different ways, it is a story of ordinary people and how they are not a whole lot different than wild animals in certain circumstances. It is a story so complex that it can not possibly be given justice in a short review. You must read this yourself to understand the true depth and beauty of this novel.
