Opis

A person without pets & without children under four. A misfit man finds a misfit dog. Ray, aged fifty-seven, 'too old for starting over, too young for giving up', and one eye, a little bugger, smaller than expected, a good ratter. Both are accustomed to being alone, unloved - but they quickly find in each other a strange companionship of sorts.

Recenzje

This book is like a flame in daylight: beautiful and unexpected. It packs a big effect for something that seems so slight, and almost hard to see. Anne Enright
