"The Wolf Pit" does what few other examples of historical fiction do, it introduces us to characters in another time who act like characters in that time, not like modern characters in old fashioned cloths. The novel contains a range of human experiences which are woven with beautiful language and keen insight. The reader is reminded of Dickens as the foibles, cruelty, ambition and nobility of the players in the story are developed. The rich writing and examination of issues still of foremost concern (human cruelty, racism, bravery, sacrifice) will entrance the reader of literary fiction, the rich detail and authentic depictions will be of great interest to the armchair historian. While other "modern" books slide into irrelavence in their striving for hip cynacism, this novel boldly looks at the issues that should engaged thinking readers.
