eBook Special Feature: Carolyn Parkhurst writes an original author article titled 'Every Writer Should Have a Dog'. When his wife dies in a fall from a tree in their backyard, linguist Paul Iverson is wild with despair. In the days that follow, Paul becomes certain that Lexy's death was no accident. Strange clues have been left behind: unique, personal messages that only she could have left and that he is determined to decipher. So begins Paul's fantastic and even perilous search for the truth, as he abandons his everyday life to embark on a series of experiments designed to teach their dog Lorelei to communicate. Is this the project of a madman? Or does Lorelei really have something to tell him about the last afternoon of a woman he only thought he knew? At the same time, Paul obsessively recalls the early days of his love for Lexy, and the ups and downs of life with the brilliant, sometimes unsettling woman who became his wife. A surprising and thoroughly winning novel about grief, love, secrets, and the unconditional devotion of the truest hearts of all - those who have no words with which to express it.
Customer Review: dog abuse is a downer
This book is sure to send a sensitive person into a depression. I would not recommend it to anyone who likes dogs, and especially not to children.
Customer Review: Very good!
This is a book I got for Christmas. A pollyanna gift of different books. I would not have chosen it for myself, but I loved it!! I traded it around the office and it provoked many conversations on grief, the depths of grief, and finally, getting on with life. It was a very well written book. I would highly recommend it.
