The Wolf Princess by Cathryn Constable
When I first saw this book
by Cathryn Constable, I couldn’t help but snatch it up. The word “Russia” in
its summary made my heart skip a beat. I am far from just a fan of the country—I
am Russian. I grew up speaking the
language and enjoying its food and dealing with my babushkas (meaning
“grandmothers” for those who might not know) have not yet read the book and
experienced its delightfully flawed Russian-English glossary). While that made
it appealing, I also had to keep in mind that it could be slightly
disappointing. And to be honest, at first, it was.
