A vivid, riveting novel about an abandoned boy who takes up with a pack of feral dogs

Two million children roam the streets in late twentieth-century Moscow. A four-year-old boy named Romochka, abandoned by his mother and uncle, is left to fend for himself. Curious, he follows a stray dog to its home in an abandoned church cellar on the city's outskirts. Romochka makes himself at home with Mamochka, the mother of the pack, and six other dogs as he slowly abandons his human attributes to survive two fiercely cold winters. Able to pass as either boy or dog, Romochka develops his own moral code. As the pack starts to prey on people for food with Romochka's help, he attracts the attention of local police and scientists. His future, and the pack's, will depend on his ability to remain free, but the outside world begins to close in on him as the novel reaches its gripping conclusion.

Journal Entry 4 by wingmarmee463wing at Templestowe, Victoria Australia on Friday, July 22, 2022
This story from Aussie Eva Hornung is like no other story I've read that is told from the perspective of animals, or near enough to. It is astonishing, dark, intimate and thought provoking in its brutal honesty. Beneath it all lies layers of philosophical thought encompassing complexities of human nature and it also hurls a hard poke at what we think separates us from animals.
