Sunday Telegraph on One Night, Markovitch
Gundar-Goshen carefully peels back her plot like an onion . . . I loved the novel
Jewish Chronicle
A real slow-burn thriller... Hitchcockian in its scope... the ending is as satisfying as it is unexpected
The Crack Magazine
This book goes straight for the jugular in a style that strips bare the narrator's soul. The dialogue conforms, matched to every finely drawn character. The Wolf Hunt is an exposé of abuse from racism to patriarchism; it's noble and devious, heart-warming, and cold as a glacier
