Why read it?
2 authors picked Hunt for the Shadow Wolf as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Powerful and disturbing story but with optimism at the end.
I loved this book because of the passion with which it is infused for the hated and feared wolf. Reading it, I could feel the burning desire of the author to set the record straight against the background of the mix of fact and fiction that surrounds the story of Britain’s now long-extinct wolves. To read of their extermination makes one sad.
For me the style of writing and use of words had an almost spiritual tone – as in this line – “Lost forever in a forest of forget”.
