"[A]transcendent debut... Peopled by characters who will live in
readers' imaginations long after the final page is turned...a
beautifully bittersweet mix of heartbreak and hope."
---Booklist (starred review)
"Tremendously moving...a wonderfully graceful conclusion."
---Wall Street Journal
“With this debut novel that flawlessly encapsulates the fragile years during the mid-'80s when the specter of AIDS began to haunt society at large, Carol Rifka Brunt establishes herself as an emerging author to watch. ‘Tell the Wolves I'm Home’ will undoubtedly be this summer's literary sleeper hit.”
--–Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"[A] beautifully written coming-of-age
story...moving and original."
--- Irish Times
"a dazzling debut..."
---O:the Oprah magazine
"If summer reading means being wholly transported to another era, I recommend Carol Rifka Brunt's brilliant and thoughtful debut novel Tell the Wolves I'm Home."
---David Gutowski (Largehearted Boy)Atlantic Wire
"Tell the Wolves I'm Home is a tale as charming and magnetic as the missing character at its heart. It's a love story of the most unusual kind--several love stories, really--vivid and madly relatable. Heartening as well as heartbreaking. Brunt is a captivating storyteller and a wonderful new voice."
---REBECCA MAKKAI
Author of The Borrower
"Distracted parents, tussling adolescents, the awful ghost-world of the AIDS-afflicted before AZT--all of it springs to life in Brunt's touching and ultimately hopeful book."
---People 4/4 stars
"A gorgeously evocative novel about love, loss and the ragged mysteries of the human heart, all filtered through the achingly real voice of a remarkable young heroine. How can you not fall in love with a book that shows you how hope can make a difference?"
---CAROLINE LEAVITT
New York Times bestselling author of
Pictures of You
"Tell the Wolves I'm Home is a charming, sure-handed and deeply sympathetic debut. Brunt writes about family, adolescence and the human heart with great candor, insight and pathos."
---JONATHAN EVISON
New York Times bestselling author of
West of Here
