From Rachel Ho’s review: The Wolves Always Come at Night is a slow burn by design — Brady maneuvers us quietly through the ebbs and flows of Daava and Zaya’s personal internal conflict so that we feel every detail and beat with depth rather than a passing superficiality. The universality of Daava and Zaya’s situation can be felt by families and communities around the world with less emphasis being placed on lifestyles connected to the land and earth and focus pushed on the commercialism of city life becoming increasingly common.
