Nox

Former bookworm who lost touch with fiction over the grind of grad school.

I'm technically an anthropologist if Ph.D.s mean anything (but I do not work in academia). Patron saint of sarcasm.

Beautiful prose. Lovely characterization of a personality that I met in early bedtime stories but never really connected with til this book.

I think I may have given this 5 stars if I didn't have to live through the deaths of several wolves that had already been fairly well detailed as unique individuals for.

There is grim sadness and loss in here. As there should be in a book that is about how far humanity has removed itself from the natural world around us and the destruction that follows that disconnect.

I struggled to engage with the first 75 or so pages of this book and put it down in favour of other books a few times. I'm glad I persevered as I did eventually find the book pretty enjoyable.
