NADYA: THE WOLF CHRONICLES
Book ID/图书代码： 06840013B60647
English Summary/英文概要： Nadya embodies the 19th century idea of the Other: she is a woman, and she
is an animal. Comfortable in her skins(s), a child of nature in many ways, she
cannot fit into the artificial structure and mores of 19th century America.
Although Nadya responds without artifice or duplicity to others, the priceless
honesty she offers is undervalued and rejected. Nadya’s search for a place in
which she can safely be herself, woman and wolf, takes her across the plains,
deserts, and mountains of western America. Fleeing to the utmost extremity
of the continent, she stops and stands her ground on the Oregon shore.In this rich and compelling portrait of an uncommon woman, Pat Murphy
does for werewolves what Anne Rice has done for vampires, combining
vivid historical detail and exciting adventure with stirring, sensual romance.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 娜迪亞是19世紀概念的一個化身：
她是一個女人，也是一隻動物。她習慣於大自然的舒適性，不能適應19世紀美國人造痕跡嚴重的生活。在這樣的環境下，她也從未欺騙他人，誠實無價，卻被世人鄙視和拒絕。
娜迪亞穿越美國西部的平原、沙漠和群山，尋找一處庇護所。逃離給她帶來嫉妒不幸的大陸，她來到俄勒岡州。(Flora)

“Murphy turns with great success to historical fantasy, giving us NADYA,
the werewolf child of European werewolf immigrants... Based on thorough
research, featuring convincing characterizations, and sparked by a pageturning
pace, this is a comprehensively excellent yarn” Booklist

background detail.” Kirkus
“Thoughtful and exciting...an adventure and a parable about our fear of
the natural world – and of our own wild nature.”San
