Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy

5.0

A beautiful, painful, and unique (and very heavy) story about sisterhood, our relationship with nature, and the instincts we are born with. The poetic yet grounded writing enveloped me from the first page, and the story touches on many complex and intimate topics that are important to me, but it does so in ways I haven’t read before. Every line is thoughtfully crafted. The author explores man v woman, human v nature, tradition v change - all in less than 300 pages, and somehow does it in a way that isn’t overwhelming, but deeply touching. Cannot recommend this book enough.
