The acclaimed author of Red Clocks returns with a biting, lyrical novel about an intergenerational group home run by an ex-musician determined to make a place for those without one
On a bluff above a river rises The House, where elderly and disabled residents live alongside young people who help out in exchange for free rent. The community is led by a former punk singer who never wanted to be responsible for anyone yet now finds herself the caretaker of this precarious collection of lives. It’s not a family, exactly, but it’s got the complicated, sometimes painful, sometimes hilarious, dynamics of kinship.
When two kids—Nola and her little cousin James—show up on The House’s back porch in need of refuge, the whole experiment is thrown into question. All are welcome here, or that was the idea. But the authorities are looking for these children, and The House’s finances are teetering on the edge.
Zumas’s long-anticipated third novel wrestles with America’s crisis of care in a taut, aching, polyphonic tale that moves as fast as the crackling comebacks that fly between The House’s residents over breakfast. As the rules of the outside world start to press in on this safe haven, readers will find themselves asking, what would the world look like if everyone had a place to belong?
A Washington Post Notable Book and One of NPR's Best Books of 2025
Recensioni della critica
“Wolf Bells will make you weep, I promise. Weep for radical possibilities of community. Weep for the cruelty of systems. Weep for the deep, fully human characters present in these pages. This novel is a kaleidoscope of place, characters, histories, and emotional connections so truly rendered that finishing it feels like saying goodbye to lifelong friends. I am always blown away by Leni Zumas, who is, hands down, one of the finest novelists writing today. This is a novel that will be read for generations.”—Emme Lund, author of The Boy with a Bird in His Chest
