From the outset of
this story, I knew it was going to twist my heart into a pretzel. While I
didn’t much care for Philip, his arguing with his wife was what first endeared
me to Clare. It was clear she wanted the best thing for her family, and it’s
hard sometimes to know what that is, especially when the leader of the family
is off chasing a whim. I’m glad I stuck through with Clare through the
stubbornness she displayed often throughout the remainder of the book, because
her heart journey was exquisite. To have one’s son stolen by Indians and then
to attempt to gain those Indians’ trust in order to get merely a glimpse of the
child lost to you… I can imagine how much one’s heart would wrench and ache in
that scenario.
My favorite
character was Wolf-Alone. He was quite mysterious, and I can’t remember him in The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn (I wish
I had time to reread that one right now!), but he was the type of guy who
stands for what he believes in and tries to keep the peace but is willing to
fight for his people too. Ultimate hero, right there. So yeah. I may have to
dig out my copy of Tamsen after all.
I want to see what happens next to Wolf-Alone, who might just go by a different
name in the other book.
