Reviews
"An utterly compelling and intriguing story of a man, in late middle age, confronting his personal demons by walking out of his home one day without word, warning or explanation. Very funny in some places, unspeakably poignant and sad in others. A philosophical and moving tale for our times" Charlie Mortimer; "A Tender and thoughtful novel exploring the bond between man and man's best friend ...sincere and evocative..." Michael Simkins
