The man’s hurtful parting words to his son, that he’s dumb as an ox, and that Ox is “gonna get shit,” he said. When the book opens, Ox Matheson is a lonely and awkward twelve-year old struggling to deal with his emotions after his father abandons him and his mother. Romantic, funny, poignant… Wolfsong is everything I hope for when I start reading a new novel. Ha! It also dispelled any doubt I had that a human/wolf pairing could or would capture my heart.
