Siobhan prefers dogs to people. But she discovers someone who she can talk to about cats, dogs, wolves and later they talk in animal about love, loss, and courage.
“In spare conversations and observations, Farish artfully captures the changeable weather of Siobhan’s emotional landscape: denial and acceptance, anger and resignation, joy and despair, in shifting combinations… Readers sensitive to nuance will find this replete with small surprises and grace notes.”
