"In the 'culture wars' narrative of the Republican ascendancy, this slippage represents the greatest con in recent history: while you rush to defend marriage or protect the unborn, please pay no attention to the financier behind the curtain." Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Laszlo Emberek is caught between two worlds: the bucolic life of a shepherd, tending his family's flock of sheep with his beloved dog, Gizi, and the secret life of his parents, who can become wolves at will. Laszlo has long yearned for the day when he will run beside them in the woods, when he will learn to change. But before that day arrives, the family's secret is discovered by a village girl — a ward of the cruel and corrupt priest. Now Laszlo must choose to remain in one world or dwell in two, and decide for himself who is the true monster: the gentle people who can turn themselves into magnificent wolves, or the men who would gladly see them burnt alive.

Review:

"The stew of adolescent emotions...is made more complex by the terrifyingly beautiful and dangerous world [Laszlo] has entered. Not as action-packed as readers might like, but layered and thought-provoking." Kirkus Reviews

Review:

"The character who represents evil wears the vestments of the established church. Call it irony or revisionist history, Jennings makes his case with dramatic and ethical clarity." Carolyn Phelan, Booklist

Synopsis:

Laszlo Emberek is caught between two worlds: the bucolic life of a shepherd, tending his family's small flock of sheep with his beloved dog, Gizi, and the secret life of his parents, who can "change" into wolves at will. 13-yr-old Laszlo knows his change will come soon. But when his family's secret is discovered by a village girl — a ward of the evil and corrupt priest, no less — Laszlo must decide how he wants to live. Can he trust himself to remain compassionately human as other, wilder instincts overcome him? And are humans truly less dangerous than the wolves they hate with such passion?

Synopsis:

In France during a time of witch-hunts, in a village with a corrupt priest, thirteen-year-old Lazlo longs to be able to turn into a wolf as his parents can, but also desires the friendship of a village girl.

Synopsis:

In 16th-century France, a family of werewolves faces threats of persecution from villagers in this novel that raises questions about humanity that provoke and fascinate.
