"I was given a copy of this book by the author. All opinions are my own.

My first impression when I started to read was that it didn't seem like I would enjoy it. I thought it was not on my alley of what I would read. That was until I just read a few m" Read more of this review »

Alix E Harrow stands out as one of my all time favourite authors.

This book was one that continued to linger with me, even when I wasn't reading it. I kept getting drawn back in. The prose, as with all Harrow's work, was exceptional. The world buildin

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“It is worse to stay where one does not belong at all than to wander about lost for a while and looking for the psychic and soulful kinship one requires”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“A woman's issues of soul cannot be treated by carving her into a more acceptable form as defined by an unconscious culture, nor can she be bent into a more intellectually acceptable shape by those who claim to be the sole bearers of consciousness. No, that is what has already caused millions of women who began as strong and natural powers to become outsiders in their own cultures.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“Healthy wolves and healthy women share certain psychic characteristics: keen sensing, playful spirit, and a heightened capacity for devotion. Wolves and women are relational by nature, inquiring, possessed of great endurance and strength. They are deeply intuitive, intensely concerned with their young, their mates, and their pack. They are experienced in adapting to constantly changing circumstances; they are fiercely stalwart and very brave.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“If you have attempted to fit whatever mold and failed to do so, you are probably lucky. You may be an exile of some sort, but you have sheltered your soul.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves

Clarissa Pinkola Estés
“Once women have lost her and then found her again, they will contend to keep her for good. Once they have regained her, they will fight and fight hard to keep her, for with her their creative lives blossom; their relationships gain meaning and depth and health; their cycles of sexuality, creativity, work, and play are re-established; they are no longer marks for the predations of others; they are entitled equally under the laws of nature to grow and to thrive.”
