Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka Brunt
5.0
The review on the back of this book claimed it was "heartwarming and heart wrenching," and I want to give due credit to whoever wrote that for hitting the nail on the head. The voice of the narrator was crystal clear, and the characters were incredibly vivid. It was the quality of writing you find in short stories, where you know every word was double and triple checked to ensure that it's doing its job properly, except that here the words felt like they hit their mark with no effort at all.

Since I usually choose fantasy over realistic fiction, it was great to step out of my norm and be rewarded with something this beautiful. I couldn't put it down. I didn't bother to write down any quotes from the library book (though that's something I often do), because I know I'll buy a copy and reread anyways. It's that good.
