Little Red Riding Hood ... all grown up.
A red hood. A hunter and a wolf.
When her husband first takes on the shape of a wolf, Zoya doesn't realize the amount of bad luck this could mean for her and her village. How do you love someone who no longer is a man? Are the other villagers correct in their superstitions, will Zoya's husband forget his name and turn into a creature half man, half animal: a "rabid wolf"?
Zoya fights for her love. But can Grischa, the hunter, help her break the curse?
Little Red Riding Hood told differently: In her short novel, Barbara Schinko weaves elements from the well-known Brothers Grimm fairytale into a story equally dark and bittersweet about the love between a young woman ... and her wolf.
