Riassunto

Kenelm has always wished to be a warrior, the strongest and bravest fighting man of the North Saxons. But his uncle, the King, has given him to the church to be made a monk and he is bound to obey his wishes, by blood and by duty. But when a quirk of fate sees the Royal Court diminished by sickness, and threatened with invasion, Kenelm is temporarily recalled. Sent on a quest for help, he ventures into the woods to find the Wood-People. There he meets the Wolf-Sisters, terrifyingly beautiful, wild and free and finds himself faced with a terrible decision: to return to a life of isolation and austerity, or deny and dishonour his King - and turn his back on the court for ever...

Recensione:

'The eponymous wolf sisters are fabulous creations, their seduction of the central protagonist, Kenelm, powerful and utterly convincing. The plot is dark and gutsy, definitely not for the faint-hearted.' The Guardian

The Wolf Sisters occupies classic Price territory... The eponymous wolf sisters are fabulous creations, their seduction of the central protagonist, Kenelm, powerful and utterly convincing. The plot is dark (LINDSAY FRASER, THE GUARDIAN)

Price's refusal to fall into sentimentality and false 'closure' is remarkable. (The School Librarian, v.49, no.1, Spring 2001)

genuinely spine-chilling (TES, 2nd March 2001)

beautifuly crafted. ..Drawn into the action, totally convinced of the reality of the characters, readers should not miss this fantasy. (Carousel, Spring 2001)

really exciting and interesting (Kids Out, April 2001)
