Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy
4.0
4.5/5
Once There Were Wolves is a thoughtful, sometimes painful book that's as worth reading as Migrations. Charlotte McConaghy has once again created a world in which her characters must balance trust and fear, humanity and nature.
The author excels at writing about damaged people who cope with trauma and are afraid of trusting others. In this case, it's an eco-thriller about rewilding. It delivers on setting and atmosphere and shows that (unsurprisingly) people are real monsters and predators. Even compared to wolves.
It's not an easy read, but it's also the type of story that stays with the reader for a long time.
