“Spellbinding . . . No word is out of place in this taut multigenerational tale.” —Publishers Weekly “Brilliant . . . Marche has created a stunning, evocative, and impressionistic account of the ascent of wealth in the twentieth century. . . . The Hunger of the Wolf could be Marche’s breakthrough novel.” —Booklist, starred review “Superb . . . Part ... Read morerealist portrait of upper-crust lives, part lycanthropic fairy tale . . . An entertaining, curious journey into the beating black hearts that occupy the penthouse suites and those who aspire to join them.” —Kirkus Reviews “Superb . . . Part realist portrait of upper-crust lives, part lycanthropic fairy tale . . . An entertaining, curious journey into the beating black hearts that occupy the penthouse suites and those who aspire to join them.” —Kirkus Reviews “A dazzling virtuoso piece. Marche turns the making of a family’s fortune into a fascinating, bloody fairy tale.” —Emma Donoghue, author of Room and Frog Music “I read this book in basically a single sitting yesterday and have thought of little else since. It’s the kind of novel that makes me want to turn the last page and immediately turn it over and start reading it again. The Hunger of the Wolf is a modern masterpiece: The Great Gatsby for the new Gilded Age.” —James Frey Show Less
