Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tell the Wolves I'm Home is Carol Rifka Brunt's debut novel, published in 2013.It is 1987. June Elbus is fourteen; shy, introverted, and fascinated by history, especially the Middle Ages. She takes solace from the problems and pain of the present in solitary walks in the woods wearing medieval boots and Gunne Sax dresses. The only person who really understands her is her beloved uncle, the famous painter Finn Weiss.But Finn is dying of AIDS, a new and mysterious disease that nobody seems to know much, if anything, about. Knowing that he has very little time left, Finn paints his final portrait of his nieces June and her estranged older sister, Greta. When AIDS finally takes his life, Finn's remaining family members have to pick up the pieces. June remains the most broken up about it of all, being far, far fonder of her uncle than even she would like to admit to herself.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Yet even in death, Finn has left her with a gift she did not even know she needed: the acquaintance of a foreign stranger, a man named Toby, who asks to meet up with her as he alone knows how June felt and still feels about Finn.Tell the Wolves I'm Home paints a moving picture of life both lost and found and how compassion, understanding, and forgiveness can touch and heal a person - and how love remains the only thing that even death cannot destroy. | |

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named | |
| Tell the Wolves I'm Home / int_16838478 | comment |
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: AIDS, justified due to the time period. Nobody wants to talk about Finn dying of it. Later on, Kaposi's sarcoma, a classic "AIDS-defining disease", subtly shows up when Toby removes his outer jacket while at the zoo with June and reveals scabby marks on his emaciated arms. When this disease occurs in someone infected with HIV, it means that the person's HIV has progressed into AIDS. Early on in the book it is noted that Finn becomes thinner and thinner - he is suffering from wasting (wasting syndrome) due to HIV - and in his case, the final stages of AIDS. And when June visits a dying Toby in the hospital, she notes how there is "nothing left of him". It is clear that since Toby has become nothing more than skin and bones, he too is a victim of this. Considering that Toby spent the night looking for Greta in the cold, rainy weather, he probably also had pneumonia (perhaps bronchopneumonia, considering his symptoms.) Pneumonia is one of the diseases recognized as an "Aids defining disease" though of course, people who do not have AIDS or HIV get pneumonia as well as it affects anyone. | |

The Glorious War of Sisterly Rivalry: We are introduced to Greta as the "pretty" one and June as the "smart" one, although Greta (who skipped a grade) is more intelligent than June. It turns out that neither sister actually wanted their relationship to end up that bad. | |

May–December Romance | |

May–December Romance: What June suspects people see her and Toby as when they're together. Fitting, as she's only 14 and Toby is somewhere in his early to mid 30's. Not exactly May-December, but Finn is 7 years older than Toby. | |

Secret Relationship | |
| Tell the Wolves I'm Home / int_2bf993ad | comment |
Secret Relationship: The fact that Toby was Finn's boyfriend for years, was kept hidden by Danielle from Greta and June. Not because Finn was gay, but rather because Danielle felt that Toby was a bad influence for Finn and a poor choice considering his past. Not to mention, Danielle and the family were under the impression that Toby was the one who gave Finn AIDS and considered him a lowlife murderer. Finn and Toby only agreed to keep their relationship under wraps so that Finn could keep seeing his nieces Greta and June. | |

Tragic AIDS Story: June's beloved uncle Finn dies because of AIDS as the novel starts, and much of the book is centered around his lover Toby, who is similarly suffering from the disease. Toby deteriorates rapidly near the end of the novel and dies, much to June's heartbreak. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Tell the Wolves I'm Home / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Perhaps even a Downer Ending depending on the reader. Toby deteriorates shockingly into the final stages of AIDS and June feels like she's only hastened his death when, after being grounded, she asks him to go looking for Greta one cold, storming night. Toby dies several days later and June never forgives herself for shortening his life, regardless of Toby forgiving her and telling her this would be the outcome no matter what. The painting, "Tell The Wolves I'm Home", is restored with none of Toby's, Greta's, or June's additions to it visible anymore. Meanwhile, Danielle never resumes her professional painting and Greta will still be leaving for university despite her fears. And in the end, June has her heart painfully broken again when she reveals that she loved Toby as well as Finn despite knowing she will never see them again, while the events of the past several months leave a permanent, painful shadow over her heart. | |

Love Hurts: Toby and Finn have their life together shortened by the devastating effects of AIDS. June gets her heart brutally broken twice; first by Finn's death, then Toby's - both of whom she was in love with. Danielle and Finn's relationship remains strained, though Danielle is implied to miss Finn before and after his death very much. | |

The Resenter | |
| Tell the Wolves I'm Home / int_483152c4 | comment |
The Resenter: All over the place. June resents Toby for representing an aspect of Finn's life she never knew about. June's mother, Danielle, resented Finn for being able to go and live the life of an artist that she never got to, instead ending up an accountant in the suburbs. Greta resented Finn for being so close to June, and almost sees his death as an opportunity to get close to her sister again. | |

Silent Scapegoat: Along with Taking the Heat from the rest of the family, Toby didn't give Finn AIDS as Danielle and Greta said. Toby subtly reveals that he was a virgin and that Finn really was his "first" in all ways. He loved Finn so much, that he never told Finn; therefore, Finn never knew that he was the one who had given Toby AIDS. June promises not to tell and the rest of the family never discovers the truth - which is what Toby wanted. | |

Incest Subtext: From the start of the book, it is strongly implied that June had more than a relative feeling for Finn, her uncle. As the book progresses, it becomes more and more apparent that for June, Finn was far more than just her uncle. Finally, when Toby is in the hospital, he gently pushes June to admit that she was in love with Finn. She does. | |

Tragic Dream: Danielle dreamed of being an artist when she and Finn were young - Finn got his dream, Danielle settled for being an accountant, and their relationship was permanently broken. In a way, June's desire to grow up and live with Finn was this as well. | |

Uptown Girl | |

Uptown Girl: Finn was the male version of this to Toby, considering that the latter was unfairly in jail and the former was the wealthy, foreign artist doing community work for inmates. | |

Nice Guy | |

Nice Guy: Both Finn and Toby are total sweethearts. Which makes everything that happens even more heartbreaking. Ben Dellahunt is this as well, as well as June and Greta's father. | |

Troubled, but Cute | |
| Tell the Wolves I'm Home / int_d22a7df2 | comment |
Troubled, but Cute: Other than the fact that he's dying of AIDS, Toby not only was sent to jail for accidentally permanently paralyzing someone, but his visa has long expired and he shouldn't be in America at all. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl | |
| Tell the Wolves I'm Home / int_eb5b71fe | comment |
Clingy Jealous Girl: June to Finn, especially after discovering that Toby and Finn were in a relationship because this meant that there was an aspect of Finn's life she wasn't privy to. As it turns out, Greta was one to June as well; she was jealous that June and Finn had grown so close over the years. | |

Terrible Artist | |
| Tell the Wolves I'm Home / int_f63e468f | comment |
Terrible Artist: Toby added the poorly painted buttons to Finn's painting of Greta and June. Later on, both Greta and June silently communicate with each other by making subtle changes to the painting. Their mother, Danielle does so as well, but unlike Toby or her daughters, she's just as good a painter as Finn and is able to let her additions slip past the eyes of the restorer - Toby's, Greta's, and June's additions aren't so lucky. | |
