bookkate 's review for:

Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt

4.0

---

Obviously incredibly well-written and intricately woven together -- I especially like how the sisters end up calling out to each other through the portrait -- but it seemed to fall into an over-emotional quagmire somewhere about 2/3rds of the way in. The character of June was excellent, but her sister Greta's personality/challenges/issues felt somewhat contrived. Overall, though, a very good book!
