Wonderful !!
How could she tell him?
How could she ask him to understand such a thing? How could anyone understand? More clearly than ever she could see that there was a fine line between dreams and wakefulness, between living and dying, a line so tenuous it sometimes didn't exist. It was always clearest for her in winter. In winter, in that valley, life and death were not so different.

This story is beautifully written. It has a magical quality about it while the descriptions of stark winter time in North America are cemented in an almost brutal reality. The Hunter's wife is a magical tale that brings elements of the unknown into the lives of us all, guiding us to our own humanity. One of the best short stories I have read!

Umm... I liked the story for the most part but the execution wasn't the best. This whole time I had a feeling that it was going for something so I waited till the end and then... nothing really happend. So basically it's a short love story about a hunter in his thirties and a 15 year old girl who can basically see the memories of anything she touches. She can also see what people are dreaming about while they're asleep. The hunter was kinda lackluster and dull for the most part and I found him pretty annoying. Overall: 2.5

Very magical and descriptive short story. Definitely not what I was expecting, but I was pleasantly surprised. Left me wanting more. I could read a short novel about these characters and the story they have to tell.
The only thing I didn't particularly care for was the age difference between the hunter and his wife.. He meets her when she is just fifteen year old. He is thirty and clearly intends on having a sexual relationship with her at some point (at least he waits for her to be 18, yay for him I guess??). If you are able to just ignore that, this story is great.

A good short story. I like how very good his descriptions are. You can nearly feel the cold. Nearly feel his winters. And the transformation of his wife and his own. I enjoyed this short story. Although I feel it was a story written to showcase winter. Not otherworldly matters. 3 stars.

This was absolutely beautiful. Doerr has a gift.

Beautifully written, sad short story about a husband who doesn't believe in his wife's magic. 5 ⭐

I had mixed feelings about this short story.
I really liked the descriptions and how detailed the setting was. You were practically shivering, too! I adored his Montana winter and the way he moves back and forth between the present and the past. I'm usually picky about how people do that, but Doerr was marvelous.
However, I didn't love the age difference and how indifferent the husband seemed at times to his wife's emotional needs, rather than just the physical. I also could have used more focus on the otherworldly, almost supernatural feel to the story.
I liked it and I wanted more, but there were plenty of things I didn't love about it. I did like the ending quite a bit though. So perhaps it ended where it needed to. There was just so much in there. No spoilers here though. You need to read it for yourself.

Beautifully written however a bit anticlimactic I kept waiting for something else to happen something that tied everything all together in a more final way but because of the magic element I believe it was harder for the author to achieve I loved this authors book all the light we cannot see so good so that why I wanted to give this short story a try

Seriously strange and surreal short story, but I love Doerr's descriptions and ability to pull you into whatever setting he writes about.

This was some of the best writing I’ve ever read.

There isn't much plot, it's about a man meeting up with his wife after 20 years, with flashbacks to their courting and first few years of marriage. He's a very practical man, who doesn't believe in magic. She's half his age and a former musician's assistant, who discovers she has psychic powers. It's an interesting piece; mostly I liked the scenes of the Montana wilderness during the harsh winters--as a Californian, I prefer my harsh winters from the coziness of my armchair, hot chocolate next to me.

The Hunter hunts his prey from town to town for 3 years until she becomes his wife. During five years of marriage the Hunter desperately tries to under his mystical wife; 20 years later she still is an awe to him.
I actually feel as though I've just snapped out of a daydream.
"He wanted to tell her that although the wolves were gone, may always have been gone, they still came to him in dreams. That they could run there, fierce and unfettered, was surely enough."
A magical piece from Doerr!

Something about the writing seemed to take me back in time. Je ne sais quoi.
I loved all the descriptions of the visions, and how a huge chunk of the story focuses on the local flora and fauna along with the characters.
The story was simple with no particular beginning or ending. Though everything in between was absolutely lovely.

Wow! I read this short story with the Novel Pairings Podcast episode that will air on 1/12/21. This story is about the hunter, his wife, and the visions that she has after something dies. She has visions to assist the loved ones left behind. The writing is beautiful. Impressive.

It's beautiful. I can't find another word to describe it.

March 26, 2024Anthony Doerr’s remarkable “The Hunter’s Wife” defies easy categorization. This narrative, set against a harsh Montana winter, blends elements of many genres, producing a unique and enchanting tale. At its heart lies a love challenged by time and separation as an estranged couple embarks on a fragile attempt to reconnect after many years. Doerr’s vivid descriptions of the natural world elevate the story’s atmosphere, adding a layer of literary fiction. This multifaceted tale doesn’t just zero in on the power of memory but also the complexities of love in shaping human lives.
The superb language Doerr utilizes paints a vivid image of the relentless Montana winter. The snow covers the environment, and the wind carries a consistent threat: “The wind flung thrushes screaming into the gorse and impaled them on the thorns in grotesque attitudes.” (Doerr). Besides the harshness, the winter landscape possesses an acute atmosphere. The quietness and isolation provide a unique clarity, enabling the hunter and his wife to approach their inner difficulties and potentially overcome them. Despite occasional bitterness, the natural world’s beauty evolves as comfort and strength for the couple. The hunter, who adapts to secluding from the winter wilderness, discovers peace in this circumstance. The snow-covered terrain became a place for self-reflection, allowing the hunter to contemplate his past and position in the world. The brief silence emphasizes the isolation and nature’s power, especially in Montana, and the harsh beauty serves as a background for the main characters experiencing emotional struggles, mirroring the problems of their inner lives.
The narrative highlights the unwavering power of memory and its influence on individuals. Both the main characters tackle previous experiences, whether joyful or distressful, which they then use to develop their perspectives and impact their choices. In the middle of the story, the hunter recalls his first winter with his wife: “Winter threw itself at the cabin. He took her out every day. He showed her a thousand ladybugs hibernating in an orange ball hung in a riverbank hollow; a pair of dormant frogs buried in frozen mud, their blood crystallized until spring… Lying there, she saw all their dreams at once, the winter reveries of scores of worker bees, each one fiercely vivid: bright trails through thorns to a clutch of wild roses, honey tidily brimming a hundred combs.” (Doerr). Here, the hunter’s memories of the winter with his wife are clear and impactful. He not only remembers the activities but how his wife was affected profoundly. In turn, these memories made him perceive their strained relationship differently and perhaps swayed his decision to stay with her despite their distance. The hunter’s memories can be comforting, reminding him of happier moments. He finds consolation in remembering the wintery adventures, a period of shared times and relationships. However, the winter’s harshness can affect memories in a troubling way, spawning past pain and regrets. The wife’s encounters with dead creatures and unique visions contrast the hunter’s potential romantic recollections. Her memories may have a sense of isolation and hardship, different from the hunter’s focus on shared experiences. Doerr’s presentation of memory is subtle and firm, driving people to realize the past is complex and a concurrent force in their lives, shaping character development and everyday decisions.
Another theme worth noting in “The Hunter’s Wife” is the exploration of love’s complications that foster time and separation from one another. Upon the hunter's and his wife's reconciliation, unspoken emotions and an ongoing sense of distance arise. Once passionate, their love impedes due to their years-long separation, which takes its toll: “They sat for dinner at a narrow and very long table, fifteen or so high-backed chairs down each side and one at each end. The hunter was seated several places away from his wife. She looked over at him finally, a look of recognition, of warmth, and then looked away again. He must have seemed old to her–he must always have seemed old to her. She did not look at him again.” (Doerr). Doerr’s language forcefully conveys the distance between the hunter and his wife. Their physical split echoes the emotional separation both individuals feel. The wife’s initial warm look, followed by quick withdrawal, insinuates the lingering feelings hidden by years of silent affection. The hunter’s observation that “he must have seemed old to her” reinforces the sense of time and change, forging a barrier between the two. Despite the challenges, their romance still illuminates beneath the surface. The story’s exploration is truthful and persistent, reminding us that love can survive even with serious obstacles. As the characters navigate their reunion's twists, the reader notes the challenges of reviving their romance. They must encounter how they’ve changed as humans and cope with the choices separating them in the first place. The story lacks easy solutions but shows the multifaceted nature of love with sensitivity and honesty. It prompts people to recognize that love is an expedition, not a destination, and how deep connections mandate consistent effort and understanding.
“The Hunter’s Wife” is an influential narrative that stays with you long after finishing reading. Doerr’s clever storytelling and expressive language create a beautiful and heartbreaking vibe. The takeaway I got was the enduring power of connection, even in the context of separation and time passing. This tale communicates how the bonds individuals build, both past and present, establish who they are. It leaves the audience wondering how tricky love can be and the lasting mark the past leaves on people. These ideas leave me hopeful, as I believe having more knowledge of love and human interactions will give me higher success and allow me to create new and lasting relationships. While the reunion’s specificity and the couple’s history remain mysterious, the story’s universal themes resonate deeply with readers, encouraging them to consider their experiences and the interactions shaping their lifestyle.

The story was told beautifully. I didn't care for the Hunter or his wife that much. The ending was superb.

On Sundays I like to have a routine. I like to get up, have a nice big breakfast, get the family off to church, go out for brunch and come home where I curl up on the couch in the sun like a cat with my latest book find in hand. I like to have a routine. Oh wait, I think that is actually called a pipe dream. Yep, that’s right. Routine is something that ACTUALLY happens, isn’t it?
What can I say? We eat a big breakfast most days, church less often than I would like, and we are on a diet which makes brunch sad. I do make time to get in a short story on the weekend. Mostly a paragraph here and there in-between naps, meals and my daughter riding my back like a horse.
Today I found The Hunter’s Wife by Anthony Doerr on The Atlantic in a May 2001 issue. The Hunter’s Wife weaves a captivating and descriptive tale of a hunting guide in a remote area of Montana. Not having been to Montana, I believe most areas are remote wilderness, probably mostly not true. On a trip into town from his isolated cabin in the woods, the hunter meets a lovely magician’s assistant, who is in town with her act. He becomes captivated by her and they begin a courtship over short sporadic visits that eventually leads to her leaving her traveling act, to marry him and live alone with her in harsh and brutal wild he calls home.
During the duration of a cruel winter, the hunter’s wife comes upon special talents that eventually lead to their separation and reunion some 20 years later. I will leave that part for you to find out.
The descriptive are fantastic and the story is mystical and captivating with an ending that warms the heart and reminds you that there are some things that just have to be seen to believe. While opposites most definitely do attract, there is a large amount of trust, acceptance and love that keeps a relationship like that together.
Through the authors words the story slowed making you feel the isolation and desperation of a solitary life of even a couple living away from civilization and takes an unexpected turn which I did not expect.
One of the most curious and unique shorts I have read thus far. Check it out here.
Happy reading bookworms!

Lovely descriptions! To describe the physical world and the otherworld with such articulation and creative flow takes wonderful skill, which Doerr obviously has.
However, this story felt very “Lolita” and the worst part is that it wasn’t trying to....I think?
Spoiler: Man in his mid/late thirties spots a beautiful 16 year old girl in a dazzling magician’s assistant outfit and follows her around town asking for her information. He watches her shows every year when she’s back in town until finally when she’s 18 he takes her to his cabin, shows her a hibernating bear, and then asks him to live with him and later marry him—which she does. I tried to look past this, but couldn’t. I felt creeped out. It reminded me of how older male celebrities “groom” younger females, waiting for them to become of age. Some strong pedophilia tones that I wasn’t appreciating. Anyway, the whole time, he seemed controlling—like a dad or like a superior male/father-figure just as she thought she successfully left the magician she worked for. I hung in because I thought the ending would be more empowering and in her favor and slightly condemning of those who try to control young people, especially females. But instead, the aged hunter reaches out for Mary’s hand. Meppppppp...

The Hunter’s Wife begins with the eponymous hunter arriving in Chicago and going to a stately mansion to attend a performance of some sort by the wife he hasn’t seen in twenty years. What she’s going to be doing is vague in the beginning, and the first hints of it start emerging only as part of a flashback, as the hunter recalls how and where he first met the fifteen-year old girl, a magician’s assistant, who was to go on to marry him. What she’s doing here, obviously the guest of honour at this mansion, has its roots deep in that winter in Montana, when she first came to him…
While the theme of this story, the explanation of what the hunter’s wife is doing, is chilling in a creepy way, what I really liked about this story was the very vivid picture Doerr succeeds in creating of the wilds. The bear, the coyotes, the heron. The cold, the snow, the getting cut off from all civilization. I could almost feel myself there, and that helped evoke a sort of belief in what the hunter’s wife was able to do.

“So instead they stood together, the snow fluttering down from the clouds to melt into the water where their own reflected images trembled like two people trapped against the glass of a parallel world, and he reached, finally, to take her hand.”

The Hunter's Wife by Anthony Doer is a strange short story, pretty different, almost magical.
💫It isn't much about the "story" but about the way it is written. The descriptions are beyond beautiful. They are vivid, they are real, they are close; you feel them, you visualise them, you live them.
💫The whole thing was quite interesting. It's a pretty short read and truly enjoyable.
💫The story was kinda without a purpose. It didn't actually go anywhere. It was just the beauty of writing you could appreciate. To me it seemed like a chocolate mousse(😂), it's delectable and kinda makes you happy but doesn't really have a health benefit😅. This book was just for enjoying the beauty of writing and imagination✨.

The story is well written, however it is a strange short story. It took a while for the hunter to understand his wife's' visions. Through the twist in turns in the short story, the hunter came to terms with his wife's' visions. The visions were not magic, just a pathetic hope that his wife gave in these visions to people to deal better with an understanding of there love ones passing. The hunters' wife also helped the passing of the spirits over of many animals too, It is a strange and interesting story to read...One has to do their best to understand the meaning of the story which is not very hard.

A captivating story about a young woman and a much older man who is a hunter. He pursues her successfully and their courtship has similarities to actually pursuing an animal with the intention of killing. A different kind of love story. Enjoyable to read.
