Tell the Wolves I'm Home by Carol Rifka BruntMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was great. It was about a young girl whose beloved uncle dies of AIDS, set in the late 1980's in NYC when AIDS was misunderstood, feared, and its sufferers isolated. She is befriended by his partner, but forbidden by her parents to interact with him. In some ways, this was a classic coming-of-age story, and in others a thoughtful depiction of the early days of the AIDS epidemic. Great writing, a wonderful narrator, and a good story.
