Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

3.0

Slow in the beginning and one third of the book but I pick up the pace afterwards. It may seem like just another coming of age story. However , the setting is different from other stories. The intelligent yet soft and misfit protagonist, June, struggled to fit in at school and at home. She and her sister grew apart and always busy parents were seldom there for them. Uncle Finn was the only person who truly understands her. He’s an artist and slightly famous for his works. He passed away recently and he painted a pictured June and her sister before his death. The story evolved after Finn’s funeral. His lover contact June for a chance to meet and tell her more stories about Finn she hasn’t known.

This is quite a good story to read although the writing is a little off sometimes. I skipped a few paragraphs sometimes as I wasn’t patient anymore not because I was eager to know. Simply because it was lengthy and verbose in some chapters. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful story and about being lost and invisible and misunderstood. The last few chapters were impeccable and affecting. 3 out of 5 stars.
