Omschrijving
A meditation on paranoia and belonging. Gundar-Goshen, a clinical psychologist and author of the acclaimed Waking Lions and Liar, shows how a tragedy exposes problems in seemingly happy lives. She is adept at drawing out the fragility of identity
A meditation on paranoia and belonging. Gundar-Goshen, a clinical psychologist and author of the acclaimed Waking Lions and Liar, shows how a tragedy exposes problems in seemingly happy lives. She is adept at drawing out the fragility of identity
The Wolf Hunt succeeds thanks to the sheer strength and complexity of Lilach's fraught, acutely self-critical character, racked by the competing demands of motherhood and morality... lithe, observant prose
Psychology graduate Gundar-Goshen ensnares her characters in some heart-stopping moral dilemmas in this sharp, compassionate tale of race, identity and a mother's dark fears
It's not every day a writer like this comes our way
There is a heartbreaking timeliness about this powerful and disturbing thriller
Gundar-Goshen does an excellent job in setting up the privilege and paranoia in her character's lives as their lives slowly unravel
A rich and beautiful exploration of a mother's love for her son, perfectly disguised as a gripping thriller. Ayelet Gundar-Goshen is an incredibly gifted writer
Grips instantly with its ingenious interweaving of plot and character, keeping the reader guessing and second-guessing throughout. Who is the victim and who is the perpetrator? Hurls you into the frantic imagination of the mother of a male teen where you discover an explosive mix of social manifesto, paranoid political thriller and heartbreaking love story. I'm not sure I could breathe until the last page
Flawed but relatable characters and off-the-charts emotional intensity with a sharply evoked Israeli cultural perspective
[The Wolf Hunt] reaches out and wraps itself around the issues - parenting, antisemitism, masculinity - and exemplifies them in character and dialogue.
Gundar-Goshen is interested in examining the messy grey areas between right and wrong, good and bad, victim and perpetrator
Unsparing in its explorations of parenting, antisemitism and masculinity
The manipulation of tension here is exquisite
As focused as we are on protecting our children, The Wolf Hunt questions our certainties about who and what we want to protect them from
Amazing and utterly gripping
A moral mystery for the thinking reader
Deliciously enticing... a plot that thrills at every twist and turn
Gundar-Goshen is adept at instilling emotional depth into a thriller plot
A classy, suspenseful tale... shine[s] a penetrating light into the dark corners of our safe lives
This is storytelling that feels instinctive... both moving and satisfying
Wry, ironically tinged and poignant
Gundar-Goshen carefully peels back her plot like an onion . . . I loved the novel
A real slow-burn thriller... Hitchcockian in its scope... the ending is as satisfying as it is unexpected
