5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book, Jun 30 2009

By	Shhhh "librariansrock" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tenderness Of Wolves (Paperback)

I loved this book. What an amazing first novel. The characters were compelling, the story gripping and the writing wonderful. I love Canadian history and this book made me feel like I had taken a visit to the past.

4.0 out of 5 stars gripping, creepy,and beautifully-written, Jan 29 2009

By	swayland (Hamilton, ON) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tenderness Of Wolves (Paperback)

This first novel has all the elements of a good read: beautiful prose, a gripping story, and interesting history and description of places I've never been. If you like Joseph Boyden's novels, this lesser-known will not disappoint.

The perspective is interesting in that the story is told from various points of view, but only one of the characters (Mrs Ross) uses the first person. The tone is foreboding and haunting, continually giving the impression that something major is about to happen.

I agree with the other reviewer that the ending seemed rushed and left some loose ends. But I also appreciated that Stef Penney avoided the Hollywood ending in which every character ends up finding their love and living happily ever after. This seemed more realistic, even if I was left wanting more and feeling deflated that the story was over.

One minor complaint is that the photo on the cover looks like British Columbia, not northern Ontario.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nicely written, Jun 18 2008

By	Picky Reader (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tenderness Of Wolves (Paperback)

This book is a beautifully written story. I especially enjoyed the details with character building and the plot kept my attention throughout. The only downside is the ending. I was disappointed at how rushed the last chapter (or two) seemed (not the way it ended but how quickly the loose ends were tied). I would rather have read another two chapters than have it end so quickly. However, I would still recommend it as a great read.
