Tell the Wolves I'm Home

After her uncle, godfather and, hard to admit, first love died because of an illness nobody knows enough about, fourteen year old June Elbus is all alone. Her sister is meaner than ever and the stranger she meets at her uncle's funeral seems to know things about her and her godfather June would never allow herself to even think about. Even with a in the beginning slightly annoying main character this book is a must-read! As a family portrait set in the late 80s, a love and coming-of-age story and a reminder of the shortness of happiness and life, “Tell the wolves I’m home” should be in every bookshelf. In mine I would like to put three copies to assign its particular value.

Eines d. besten Bücher, d. ich je gelesen habe. Sehr einfühlsam geschrieben. Eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, Familie, Liebe, AIDS, u. daraus resultierenden Konflikte. Leider scheint es d. bisher einzige Buch d. Autorin zu sein. Lesens- u. empfehlenswert !
