"A satisfying and reflective novel from a talented storyteller"
Alpha and Lucy are twins and very close, but family changes and problems at school have served to push them apart. As they live separate lives, Alpha angry with and hurt by her father, who has moved out, and Lucy consumed by anxiety triggered by cruel bullying at school, things feel bleak.
But the arrival of an abandoned wolf cub at the local rewilding project, run by their mother, provides a way for the girls to explore their feelings and reconcile. There’s a believable sense of the pain both twins are experiencing and an equally strong sense of the bond between, while depictions of the natural world are vivid too, convincing us of its power to heal. Ewa Jozefkowicz is a very good storyteller and this is a rich, satisfying and reflective novel.
