Wolf Winter
by Cecilia Ekbäck
'Wolf winter' is now also used to describe the darkest of times in a human being's life - the kind of period that imprints on you that you are mortal and, at the end of the day, always alone.
Set in 1717 Lapland, this book is dark. Really dark (literally and figuratively). I got this from the lovely Mr B's in Bath, recommended by Emma. In some ways it's similar to Burial Rites, which I absolutely loved.
This is a really quick review, but I'd definitely recommend it. It encapsulates the loneliness of that lifestyle so vividly, and the harshness of small communities. The supernatural part can be taken or left, which I like; it leaves the reader more scope to read it on their own terms. It's the atmosphere that made it for me. I'd like to look out for more from this author... we'll see.
