Review: Mother of Wolves by Zoe Brooks
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 10 6, 2012
Although I have reviewed novels by Zoe Brooks previously, this is not a novel she requested me to review. This is a read-for-pleasure selection.Lupa is a woman will a strong heart and a quick mind. Living in a world where women are not taken seriously and expected to follow the rules, she finds herself at odds with those around her.But Lupa will not be content to do anything as expected and when she becomes suspicious that her uncle is complicit in the death of a family member she decides to investigate. Her inquiries take her far from home into the society of the people who rule. As she is drawn into their world, Lupa finds the information she needs and begins to act on it.Underestimated by all Lupa decides to take matters into her own hands and live her life as she chooses.A novel that both entertains and explores the difficulties a strong woman encounters in life, "Mother of Wolves" is a well written, character driven novel that draws the reader into a world that is little known.Lupa is certainly a character I would want to sit and talk with.Karen Bryant Doering,Parents' Little Black BookMistBlueEeyore@gmail.com
