Most Helpful Customer Reviews   5.0 out of 5 stars Terrors of the Wild..., March 19, 2006 By  Susan O'Neill (Andover, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    The protagonist in this well-rendered tale, a young woman who has moved back home after leaving her "first husband for the last time," is a fascinating, believable, gut-level-true character. She is the Wild Thing in the context of her traditional family, raising a baby son on her own, taking temporary refuge in the safety of her parents' tame marriage before she once more engages her lust for the "wrong men." A thought-provoking story about how we humans pace our cages and squander our escapes. Joan Wilking is a superb writer, as anybody who's read her story in the anthology Politically Inspired can attest. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
