Tell the Wolves I'm Home
by Carol Rifka Brunt
I think this book will stay with me forever. The writing style is incredible and unique. On the surface it is a coming of age story, but it has so many levels and I guess made me do more self analysis then I had done in a long time because what else do you do what incredible characters make life more something. so much more... something. I loved the complicated relationships and the simple words that felt like they could gut you. I mean you were different after you read it.
"Like we were one solid, unbreakable thing"
"You could press your ear against that person’s back, listening to the rhythm of them, knowing that you were both made of the same exact stuff. You could do things like that."
"I really wondered why people were always doing what they didn’t like doing. It seemed like life was a sort of narrowing tunnel. Right when you were born, the tunnel was huge. You could be anything. Then, like, the absolute second after you were born, the tunnel narrowed down to about half that size."
