Wolves Within

by Shivon Sudesh

Overview

What really happened to Sathi's mother – the mother she never knew? Throughout her eighteen years, Sathi has carried the burden of her grief and guilt over the death of her own mother while giving birth to her. But then she starts investigating – and unearths hidden documents that suggest her mother did not die in childbirth after all. This shocking discovery sends Sathi to India, the land of her forefathers, on a trail which opens up a world of intrigue she had no idea existed. What secrets are her family keeping from her? What is she to make of the charming but infuriating Zakiy, who is not quite the simple young man he claims to be? And what really happened to her beloved Amma? This page-turner of a story from a talented young novelist is a wonderful read from start to finish. To be continued in the next instalment of the Prism of Truth trilogy, Doves in Flight

Editorial Reviews

Amazingly psychologically astute for such a young writer. Enjoyed it enormously - a fast moving exciting drama, very culturally based in India and very interesting from that perspective. Look forward to the rest of the trilogy!

In this, her debut novel, Shivon Sudesh has really opened my eyes to the beauty and rich culture of Kerala. (I found her guide to the languages of the region invaluable). It is against this backdrop that she tells the story of eighteen year old, London-born Sathi's search for the truth about her mother's death. Sudesh skilfully blends Sathi's exploration of her mother's homeland, elements of self discovery as she builds new relationships in that part of the world, and the historical glimpses into her mother's early life. As she does so, it is easy to forget that the author is herself little older than her main character.

The story develops a very real sense of urgency as Sathi begins to piece together the information she has gleaned, coming to realise that more sinister aspects underly her mother's death than she might ever have imagined. The wolves are there all right and I look forward with anticipation to the next part of the trilogy!

Interesting and gripping tale from a young author who shows a great deal of promise. The hint of the supernatural coupled with intense family drama kept held the attention of the reader and now leaves us waiting anxiously for the next installment.
