Little wolves

Set on the Minnesota prairie in the late 1980s during a drought that's pushing family farms to the brink, Little Wolves features the intertwining stories of a father searching for answers after his son commits a heinous murder, and a pastor's wife, a washed-out scholar of early Anglo-Saxon literature who has returned to the town for mysterious reasons of her own. This penetrating look at small-town America weaves together elements of folklore and Norse mythology while being driven by a powerful murder mystery.
