The Tenderness of Wolves |
An excellent story set in 1867 in a remote Canadian settlement where the layer of civilisation is only ice thin. The murder of a local Frenchman exposes deep feelings and buried secrets in and beyond the small community. Everyone has their own reason for finding the killer, sparking off a series of desperate treks into the wilderness. The vast, bleak landscape provides a vivid backdrop. It starts to ramble near the end, but it's worth it.
