Overview

A stunning debut novel about prejudice, friendship and justice. Harper Lee has a worthy successor. Wolk is a big new talent - The Times Annabelle has lived in Wolf Hollow all her life- a quiet place, still scarred by two world wars. But when cruel, manipulative Betty arrives in town, Annabelle's calm world is shattered, along with everything she's ever known about right and wrong. When Betty disappears, suspicion falls on strange, gentle loner Toby. As Wolf Hollow turns against him, and tensions quickly mount, Annabelle must do everything in her power to protect Toby - and to find Betty, before it is too late. Powerful, poignant and lyrical, Wolf Hollow is an unforgettable story.

Reviews

Wolk builds her story deliberately through Annabelle's past-tense narration in language that makes no compromises but is yet perfectly simple. She realizes her setting with gorgeous immediacy, introducing the culture of this all-white world of hollows, hills, and neighbours with confidence and clear-eyed affection. Trusting its readers implicitly with its moral complexity, Wolk's novel stuns Kirkus
