Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

DID NOT FINISH

---

So, what I could gather is that this is the story of a young girl in the mid 1980's who lost the only relative who understood her to a tragic death. Then, her relative's lover reaches out to her through gifts and letters in an effort to get to know her better. That's as far as I got. I could not finish this book as it moved far too slowly for me. Because this book has been so well reviewed by readers and fans have been rating it with high stars, I expected to be captivated by the story and was prepared to join in singing praises. The fact of the matter is, the story moves at a snail's pace. I'm sure there is a pay off at the end, but it took me 2 weeks to get through the first 100 pages. I decided it wasn't worth my time to finish.
