11.01.2022 Rated by Margaret Atwood, 'Empire of Wild' is one of those books vital to the literary landscape. It explores the marginalisation of First Nations peoples -- this time, in Canada. Throw in a local 'werewolf' myth (the Rougarou) and you've got a subtly political thriller with some magical realism thrown in. You'll read this in a day, I promise!
