The Tenderness of Wolves, although perhaps inappropriately named (due to the lack of the presence of wolves for the majority), was a a challenging, yet interesting novel, and a world apart from my normal read.
Set in Canada in 1867 and narrated by a whole host of different characters through means of being written rather episodically, it paints a larger picture of isolated life in 19th century Canada and shows more vividly the effects of one crime on an entire community and it's varying characters.
Although a compelling story, a lot of sub-plots are left at lose ends and can sometimes seem a little off the point.
Overall though, an entertaining read.
