emily_charlotte 's review for:
Wolf Hollow
by Lauren Wolk
I re-read this book recently and was once again very impressed. While I’m usually prone to like the more flowery and descriptive prose, the pared back style of narration in Wolf Hollow just enhanced the quiet and down to earth mood. I loved the simple farm setting, the cast of characters, the retrospective POV, and, of course, the beautiful cover.
Betty’s character, the things she did, and her fate were hard to stomach at times, but the themes and questions that arose from the role she played is what makes me respect this book so much.
The ending wasn’t happy ever after and didn’t tie everything up neatly. We are left with many tough questions, which is what I think made this book so much more realistic and memorable.
Wolf Hollow isn’t flashy or loud. For me, it was the book’s quiet, subtle tone that made the biggest impact.
