Shortlisted for the Newcomer of the Year Award at the Galaxy British Book Awards 2008.

Winner of the  Costa Book of the Year 2006.

A big sweeping drama set in an icy Canada of 1867.  A trapper is murdered, a young man disappears into the wilderness, agents from the Hudson Bay Company are called for and a small settlement is in turmoil.  Trackers arrive, secrets appear, love blossoms, duty calls … and the whole mystery and adventure is revealed to us through different voices in a thoroughly intriguing manner.  I found this very difficult to put down, it haunted me until I could come to it again.  Full of strong characters and magnificently visual descriptions, it is a wonderful read.

Similar this month: None but try James Morrow.
Comparison: Alistair MacLeod, Joseph Boyden, Leif Enger.

Costa Book Awards 2006 Judges' comment: "The Tenderness of Wolves  is atmospheric, gripping and compassionate and perfectly evokes the snowy wastes of nineteenth-century Canada."
