Praise for Annie and the Wolves
“I have long been a fan of Andromeda Romano-Lax’s work, and this is
her best novel yet. Separated by more than a century, the lives of
American icon Annie Oakley and modern historian Ruth McClintock are
intertwined in ways you could never guess. Delving into the human
psyche, the novel explores how we navigate time and memory, and how
we struggle to heal from trauma both historically and on a deeply
personal level. Are justice and revenge the answer? Or can we dare
to hope to change the past? When this story grabs hold of you, and
it will, there will be no setting it down until you’ve finished the
last page. A morally complex, genre-shattering thriller.”
—Eowyn Ivey, New York Times bestselling author of To
the Bright Edge of the World and the Pulitzer Prize
finalist The Snow Child
“I’ve always held a special place in my heart for Annie
Oakley, and Andromeda Romano-Lax has forever transformed my vision
of the famous sharpshooter in such a fresh, deep, moving way.
I love how this novel plays with the malleability of time—how
trauma can alter it, how healing can transcend it, how human
connection can enrich it immeasurably. Time disappeared as I read
Annie and the Wolves—a compelling, unforgettable read.”
—Gayle Brandeis, award–winning author of The Book of Dead
Birds
“Annie and the Wolves intrigued me with its countless twists
and turns. It’s a Mobius Strip of history, time travel and complex
characters, all masterfully woven into a suspenseful and satisfying
ending. Bravo.”
—Kim Heacox, author of Jimmy Bluefeather
"Annie and the Wolves’s primary appeal stems from its inability to
be pegged into a single genre. Part historical fiction (Annie
Oakley), part science fiction (time travel), and part literary
fiction (a struggling modern-day historian), this book tackles
abuse, secrets, and revenge. A fascinating story that leaves
readers wondering how much our actions can influence the
future."
—Beth Shapiro, Skylark Bookshop (Columbia, MO)
“An engrossing work of speculative fiction featuring a
time-traveling Annie Oakley . . . Romano-Lax neatly weaves the
parallel narratives of Oakley and Ruth, and juggles various
literary devices and genres with aplomb. The dual storylines
dovetail perfectly for a winning anthem of female power sustained
across a century.”
—Publishers Weekly
Praise for Andromeda Romano-Lax
“Riveting.”
—People Magazine
“Will keep you mesmerized to the last page.”
—Christian Science Monitor
“Shocking and thought-provoking . . . The intimate struggles of a
woman weighing her value, utility, and satisfaction both within and
outside the home certainly resonate today.”
—The Boston Globe
“An engaging read which will not only entertain you but also teach
you a great deal about these giants in the history of psychology,
and the ethics of those times, which we now see as abhorrent.”
—Psychology Today
