Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945) : Fiction in translation |
| SofĂa is thirty-five and her husband has left her. Her father died the year before, and her mother is living in the Canary Islands with a new partner. SofĂa flees the city with her young son, seeking refuge in her father's house on the southern coast of Spain, where she spent summers as a girl. Her younger sister, with whom she has a close but uneasy relationship, joins her. Living together again, the sisters face their present as well as their childhood and tangled past. A novel from one of Spain's most remarkable authors, WOLFSKIN is an intimate meditation on ambivalence and motherhood, eroticism and disappointment, family violence and failure, and ultimately, the possibility -- or impossibility -- of living with those you love. |
| Reviews: |
|
"Wolfskin is a sensitive and thoughtful portrait of mother- and sisterhood that shows how the past defines our understanding of both. Katie Whittemore's translation deals admirably with Moreno’s range of textures and moods. Through Rita and Sofia, Moreno suggests that, fraught though they may be, family relationships are never entirely beyond redemption." -- Patrick Graney, The Times Literary Supplement

"That violence and abuse can happen, be evident, and yet be ignored is Moreno's searing observation." -- Declan O’Driscoll, The Irish Times
