Away With the Wolves was nominated for a Hugo in 2020. This story is well written but I have to say it confused me a bit. The protagonist's struggles with chronic pain and the choice between a lonely wolf life and a pain-filled but social human life are a real strength, as is the strained support she gets from her community. So there's a compromise of some kind where she gets to spend most of her time as a wolf (acting kind of like a dog?)--I'm looking for the tradeoff but it's not clear. It was OK.
