Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well and that you’re finding ways to cope during this crisis.
My family have been posting rainbows to their windows, while others have been getting even more creative.
However, I’m not here today to focus on the pandemic, but on a new book that really touched my heart: Veneration of the Hunter, by Ren Behan.
About
A seventeen year old hunter has gone into the woods to make his first kill. It is tradition among his people, serving to ‘sever the metaphorical tie’ between the hunters and their mother’s. If the hunter should succeed in his task, then he will be considered a man. However, this would-be hunter’s right of passage doesn’t get off to a good start and he soon finds himself torn- is he to be the predator, or the prey?
