4.0 out of 5 stars A mythic journey to the highlands, December 6, 1999

This review is from: Summer of the Red Wolf: A Novel (Hardcover)

This is the story of a man struggling with anomie who travles to scotland to fight his inner demons and discovers love, honor and himself along the way. This book has most of Mr. West's normal themes but captures the feelings of restlessness which seem to be so common in these modern times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lingers on the mind long after read, March 18, 2005

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Summer Of The Red Wolf (Audio CD)

Dramatically narrated by Stanley McGeagh, Summer Of The Red Wolf by Morris West is the riveting story of one man who struggled to deal with and ultimately overcome the complexities and torments of his everyday life. Traveling to Scotland to fight his own inner demons, he discovers love, honor, and himself along the way. Morris West is an experienced and accomplished novelist whose books have been translated into 27 languages. Summer Of The Red Wolf, which brilliantly showcases those feelings of restlessness and yearnings for self-discovery which so hallmarks contemporary life, is another of his masterfully written, reader engaging novels which tend to linger on the mind long after they are read and put back upon the shelf. Also available in an audiocassette format, this 8 CD Bolinda library edition is a superbly recorded, complete and unabridged production which is confidently recommended for library audiobook collections.

This review is from: Summer of the Red Wolf (Coronet Books) (Paperback)

This novel spoke to me 20 years ago and I wanted to read it again. It is a story about love and finding oneself in a wild, beautiful place. It helped me get through a rough time. Written by a thoughtful writer who had several other wonderful books, I connected to the wildness, to the passions, to the torment. This is not about current times, but is universal, nonetheless.
