In The Shadow of Wolves by Alvydas Slepikas






40676187


What a sad part of history that you had women and children from Germany who were left all alone and starving. The women and the children were taking treks into Lithuania to scavenge for food for themselves and their families. They travel through absolute wilderness to find any way of acquiring food. They live in abandoned sheds, barns, etc,  because their homes were taken by others.


While the history of this is terrible, I found this novel to be so disjointed in the telling of that story. We keep being introduced to characters that don't get blended and we are at a loss sometimes to remember who is who. This really could have flowed better, with more substance given to the characters and their connections.

This book was sent to me by OneWorld for librarything.com as an ARC for early review through the Early Review group.
