Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All by Laura Ruby

4.0

---

I really enjoyed this. There were a lot of characters and storylines but even though I might have missed some of the connections between them (due to my wavering attention span during audiobooks), I cared about and was interested in all of them (especially Frankie). I liked how this was a WWII story that was set more on the sidelines. It's not about an occupied country or characters in the middle of the war, it's about those who stay behind and anxiously wait to hear from their loved ones. Interwoven with the stories are some fairy tale and paranormal elements that add a unique twist to the narrative. Also, up to now this remains my favorite book title ever, especially in connection with the last paragraph of the novel.
