Used book – We Were Wolves, Sandrine Collette

That evening, when Liam returns from the mountain forests where he had gone hunting, he immediately senses that something has happened. His five-year-old son, Aru, is not waiting for him outside the house. In the yard, he discovers bear tracks. Next to them, beneath his wife's lifeless body, he finds his son. Alive. In the midst of his collapsing life, Liam has one certainty: this wild world is not for a child. Determined to entrust his son to others, he prepares for a long journey at the pace of horses. But in these depths, no one knows what might happen. Even less so a man mad with rage and pain accompanied by a terrified child. Following in the footsteps of "And always the Forests," Sandrine Collette plunges her reader into a nature as overwhelming as it is indifferent to humanity.

Throughout these sublime pages, she explores paternal instinct and the price of a possible rebirth.

A breathtaking text. Christine Ferniot, Télérama.
