The Hunter and the Old Woman
The Hunter and the Old Woman | Pamela Korgemagi
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
The intertwined story of a cougar and a man that portrays the strength, vulnerability, and consciousness of two top predators. Not since Life of Pi have we encountered such transcendence or walked so fully in the footsteps of a big cat. The “Old Woman” lives in the wild, searching for food, raising her cubs, and avoiding the two-legged creatures who come into her territory. But she is more than an animal — she is a mythic creature who haunts the lives and the dreams of men. Joseph Brandt has been captivated by the mountain lion’s legend since childhood, and one day he steps into the forest to seek her out. A classic in the making, The Hunter and the Old Woman is a mesmerizing portrait of two animals united by a shared destiny.

Narrated in third person this novel's premis has a nostalgic feel with a fresh take as the lines between animals and humans becomes blurred. Korgemagi's writing kept me equal parts gripped and compelled as she showed the progress of time in these two characters intertwined lives. And a unique look inside the natural world and the appeal of its beauty and its simplicity. #canlit #bookreview
