Little Wolves

A Novel

De: Thomas Maltman

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

Set on the Minnesota prairies in 1987, during a drought season that is fostering the demise of the family farms, the story features two intertwining narrators: a father searching for answers after his son commits a heinous murder, and a pastor's wife who has returned to the town for mysterious reasons of her own. A penetrating look at small-town America, reminiscent of Russell Banks' Sweet Hereafter or Affliction, driven by a powerful murder mystery, Little Wolves is a literary triumph.

Not my usual type book

Not my usual type book but I found I f enjoyed it very much

Beautiful literary experience

The author is a truly talented storyteller and uses beautiful prose to unfold a beautiful story. The word choice and the descriptive passages will speak to your heart while the plot and characters will keep you fully engaged. I highly recommend this book!

Powerful story

The narrative is great. There are some triggers in this book of teenage gun violence but it’s done in a way to show the damage done to the teen that pushed him.
I loved the old legend told too.
Well written.

Interesting with a Mystery

Mysterious and interesting, but heartwarming story. Look forward to finding more from this author and worth sharing.

Good reaf

Very slow with a bunch of unhappy characters - it is just the kind of story that I like. I recommend. Would recommend even if it was not included in memership.

Slow start but…

I started this book twice. The first time I found it slow and only made it through about 4 chapters. A month or so later I started all over again and still found it a slow start but was determined to get farther than the first time. The storyline is a bit of a maze but I really got into it this time and quite enjoyed the story. I’m glad I listened to this one.

Ending was awful, but book is worth it?

I got this book for free. It had me really confused when in the first minute it talked about a wolf breastfeeding a human baby lol. The rest of the book was interesting and I liked the characters. I wish it had ended differently, but since it was free I don’t really care. It was good up until the last chapter. If you can listen for free you definitely should, but if you have to buy this book, don’t bother.

😊 wonderful!

this is a great story. I loved everything about it. the characters were crisp with individuality and depth. the three story lines wove such an interesting tapestry

It was a good book. I enjoyed it. Kinda like a long form, much more somber version of a News from Lake Wobegon

Best book of the year

A mesmerizing listen for me. The narrator was a perfect match for this story that is both dark and redemptive. The story development is more complex than many novels, so I had to pay closer attention, but this is a writer with something to say. Highly recommend.
