They're all lovely books. It's something we all have to think of at every stage of our lives: how are we going to handle the latest surprise that life has thrown at us? Hopefully with grace...
A lovely, perspicacious review of a terrific book. Can't wait to read what you say about Abigail's, another of my favourite writers. I feel left out of this stellar company; I have a cat.
Thanks so much , Beth. I loved reading them. I tend not to review books I don't like, since there's always such a pile of them ready. I make the occasional exception -- but obviously not in this case.
Oh, I love your books! Thanks for writing. My husband and I are dealing with his progressive MS, which means life has been throwing us many curveballs. Obviously, mostly to him, but I'm in there somewhere. To read about your journey in A Three Dog Life and What Happens Next and How to Like It was very moving for me. Thank you as well for both. (The next post in a couple of weeks will deal more thoroughly with your books.) And as you say, Rona Maynard's Starter Dog is wonderful.
Lesley, thank you for this perceptive review. It’s an honor to appear alongside Abigail Thomas (WHAT COMES NEXT… is a talisman for me).

Thank you, Lesley. And having loved Rona Maynard's Starter Dog, I am doubly honored.
