So, what is Wolves and Brioches about?

Two days ago, I shared the cover of my novel Wolves and Brioches, which will be available in paperback and Kindle format on December 1.

Cover of the book Wolves and Brioches by Alysa Salzberg, featuring two medallion silhouette portraits, one of a woman with an 18th century hairstyle and one with a wolf wearing an 18th century jacket and lace collar. Between them in color is a brioche. The entire cover is decorated with tree branches and leaves. There are the silhouettes of three sparrows, as well.
