A simple tale -- The hunters.
Kirkus Review. Pub Weekly. Wilson's Fiction.
In "A Simple Tale," Maria Poniatowski, a Ukrainian woman living in Canada, struggles with the widening gap between herself and her son Radek; and in "The Hunters," an American scholar living in a dreary London suburb becomes obsessed with the neighbors downstairs, particularly the caretaker for the elderly whose patients keep dying.
