laura_zurowski 's review for:
Tell the Wolves I'm Home
by Carol Rifka Brunt
Carol Rifka Brunt’s novel, Tell the Wolves I’m Home, is a most terrible love story about terrible love. Love that is so intense, so powerful, that it both creates and destructs all whom succumb to it. There are many different kinds of love that can be experienced, but none compare to this kind. Fortunate and unfortunate at the same time, the holder of this love becomes the memory-keeper for all the remaining years to come.

I will divulge that I haven't cried this much while reading a book since Margarete Cassalina's Beyond Breathing. Margarete's story is non-fiction, and I know her and her struggles well, so the emotional outpouring was not surprising. But Brunt's work of fiction cuts as deep as any true-to-life story. Her words may never have occurred in the waking world but the underlying sentiment will have you believing that it did; and you'll know that because your life has terrible love and shiny black buttons in it too.
