“Annie and the wolves” Andromeda Romano-Lax

Rated 3 stars *** ARC. ebook. Soho Pres. To be published February 2, 2021.

As a young girl Annie Oakley endured abuse with a family she called Wolves. In 1901, after she discovers her strange ability to time travel, getting revenge for her past suffering seems to consume her every waking moment.

In 2018 Ruth, a local historian obsessed with Annie’s life, discovers that she can travel through time. Her younger sister committed suicide many years ago, leaving Ruth obsessed with things she could have changed if she’d only had the chance to do so.

The more Annie and Ruth travel through time the worse their health becomes but, eventually, they learn that the present is just as important as the past.

It took awhile to get into this book, as it seemed to drag on and on between Annie and Ruth’s back and forth memories. Eventually things “clicked,” and I got into the storyline. Though it took me awhile, maybe other readers will find themselves “clicking” sooner.

Recommended for Adults.

I received an advance reading copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
