Once There Were Wolves by Charlotte McConaghy

5.0

And when you open your heart to rewilding a landscape, the truth is, you’re opening your heart to rewilding yourself.

It took me a while to get into this because I kept asking it to be [b:Migrations|42121525|Migrations|Charlotte McConaghy|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1612818084l/42121525._SY75_.jpg|65230718]. When I finally let go of my expectations for this book, it became its own beautiful thing. McConaghy writes such exceptional, traumatized, complex women and landscapes. She is a master of cli-fi and capturing the horrors and subtle beauties of the human experience. As the wolves clash with the farmers, and the wilderness inside clamors against domesticity, no one remains unscathed. Charlotte McConaghy somehow does it again.
