Nadya
by Pat Murphy
Donât actually remember reading this the first time but before recycling, reading again to review. My talk is that it is a sort of rambling tale with plenty of detail about life on the prairie. It would probably appeal to some but I obviously forgot it after the first reading.
Told in third person past tense by a omniscient narrator POV, Nadia is seen from the outside. The tone is cool and distant and her life is described. First growing up, becoming a crack shot, romance with a man (Rufus) who her mother warns her against, her first Change to wolf (her mother and father are both werewolves as well), and her first experience with sex (with Rufus) are told rather clinically in descriptive but not very immersive way.
By the end of part one, her parents are killed by Rufus and other hunters and Nadya heads west in part two. At first the story follows Elizabeth and her family who are traveling west. Nadya is traveling as a wolf when she crossed paths with them. She joins the Elizabeth (now alone having been separated from the wagon train) in her human form but presenting herself as a young boy named Nat. When they catch up with the wagon train, everyone is dead but a young girt named Jenny.
The three of them set out and âNatâ teaches Elizabeth and Jenny to shoot. They travel for a while before Elizabeth figures out Nat is actually a woman. Nadya confesses that she is on the run having shot and killed Rufus. She tells Elizabeth everything except the part about being werewolves. As they cross the prairie, Elizabethâs budding desire for Nat doesnât go away when she knows she is actually Nadya. Eventually they become lovers though it is clear Elizabeth isnât really comfortable with her own feelings.
The chapter where Nadya captures the Indians who try to steal her horse was really interesting. One point in the novel I felt engrossed. She captures them then smokes with them and gives them gifts and they as âfriendsâ with Nadya taking one of their ponies.
Later an Indian tribe helps Elizabeth when she is bitten by a rattlesnake. Later on the trail, the axile of the wagon breaks and after that Elizabeth is never the same - their relationship is never the same. Elizabeth is always afraid and starts to withdraw from Nadya (though they are still lovers at least some of the time. Once they get to civilization, staying with Elizabethâs aunt and uncle things are even worse.
Elizabeth want Nadya to be someone she isnât. She leaves Elizabeth and Jenny behind reluctantly, but staying isnât an option and Elizabeth wonât go with her.
In part three, we find Nadya in the Northwest where she meets Jacob who claims he isnât civilized at all ant that she will fit right in. She moves into a cabin nearby and hey become lovers. They find happiness for a while as Jacob accepts her as she is wolf and all. That doesnât last long when more people move to the area. They try to scare them away and ends up killing one, the story ends abruptly after that.
