Title: In the Wolf's Mouth
Author: Adam Foulds
Narrator: Nicholas Bell
Format: Unabridged
Length: 8 hrs and 19 mins
Language: English
Release date: 02-06-14
Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
Set in North Africa and Sicily at the end of World War II, In the Wolfs Mouth follows the Allies botched liberation attempts as they chased the Nazis north toward the Italian mainland. Focusing on the experiences of two young soldiers - Will Walker, an English field security officer, ambitious to master and shape events; and Ray Marfione, a wide-eyed Italian-American infantryman - the novel contains some of the best battle writing of the past fifty years. Eloquent on the brutish, blundering inaccuracy of war, the immediacy of Adam Fouldss prose is uncanny and unforgettable.
The book also explores the continuity of organized crime in Sicily through the eyes of two men - Angilù, a young shepherd; and Cirò Albanese, a local Mafioso. These men appear in the prologue and in the books terrifying final chapters, making it evident that the Mafia were there before and are there still, the slaughter of war only a temporary distraction.
In the Wolfs Mouth has achieved an extraordinary resurrection, returning humanity to the lives lost in the writing of history.

Bleak Poetry
If you could sum up In the Wolf's Mouth in three words, what would they be?
Cool, detached, compelling.
What was one of the most memorable moments of In the Wolf's Mouth?
Ray's first combat, in the invasion of North Africa, and the fate of his neighbour.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Angilu's engagement with Mafiosi sheep-smugglers, in the preface.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
You brought the Mob back to Sicily. You thought that would end well?
Any additional comments?
Cool, slightly ennervated descriptions of extreme events. The level gaze is compelling, but makes the chief characters, especially Ray and Angilu, a bit distant and unknowable. Effortlessly graceful prose, and the descriptions are really vivid, but I ended up feeling most concern for Angilu's mule and his dog.
