Dog Days

De: Ericka Waller

Narrado por: Emma Cunniffe

Ericka Waller's Dog Days is a debut novel about the way dogs can bring out the best in us in the face of life's challenges.

George is a grumpy, belligerent old man who has just lost his wife. She has left him notes around the home and a miniature dachshund puppy called Poppy. But George doesn’t want a dog, he wants to fight everyone who is trying to help him.

Dan has OCD but has channeled his energy into his career as a therapist. Afraid to acknowledge his true feelings, his most meaningful relationship so far is with his dog Fitz. That is, until Atticus walks into his life.

Lizzie is living in a women’s refuge with her son Lenny. Her body is covered in scars and she has shut herself off from the world. She distrusts dogs, but when she starts having to walk the refuge’s dog, Maud, things begin to change.

As three strangers' lives unravel and intersect, they ultimately must accept what fate has in store for them with their dogs by their sides. Set against the backdrop of Brighton, Dog Days is an inspiring, unflinching, and deeply moving novel about life, and the way dogs can help us understand it, and each other, a little better.

"It takes great heart and a steady hand on the tiller to bring a set of characters - human and canine - to life on the page and Ericka Waller has both. With an equally deft hand at a compelling story line, Waller draws the reader into this tender, complicated novel of love, loss and self-discovery." (Susan Wilson, New York Times best-selling author of One Good Dog and What a Dog Knows)

beautiful

I love the main characters in this story. The book made me laugh and cry in the best ways.

An Amazing Listen!

Absolutely love this book! The narrator really brought to life each character. Before half way through, I felt like I knew each character and who they are. The story is amazing. I cried towards the end, big emotions here. The understanding you gain listening to this book about love and heartache is truly remarkable. I would absolutely listen to this audiobook again.
