Critiques en avant-premièreAlissa York

Fourteen-year-old Dorrie is the fourth wife of Erastus Hammer. Skilled in the art of taxidermy she happily secludes herself in a workshop, away from the rivalry between the elder wives. But Hammer's recent kill, a family of wolves, is proving a difficult and she struggles with her craft. The new farm hand is the only one to offer her help, a dangerous game in a Mormon household. Outside, a lone wolf prowls the grounds looking for his lost pack, and his nighttime searching unearths the tensions and secrets of a complicated and conflicted family. Inspired by the real events of the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857, Alissa York blends fact with fiction in a haunting story of a family separated by secrets and united by faith in this Giller Award-nominated novel novel of loss, memory, despair and deliverance by one of Canada’s best fiction writers.
