“A less pernickety reader might find plenty to enjoy” – History of Wolves by Emily Fridlund

The prose is lovely: it’s full of well-turned phrases, and Linda is an astute and careful observer and a considerate, anguished muller-over of everything that’s happened to her – but it doesn’t ring true. Her voice doesn’t match her circumstances. It all feels very self-consciously literary and exactly the sort of Book That Wins The Booker, but it’s missing whatever spark of authenticity that might make Linda feel real..." - Valerie O'Riordan reviews History of Wolves by Emily Fridlund
