WINNER OF THE 2018 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD. A moving story of
love, friendship, grief, healing, and the magical bond between a
woman and her dog. When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong
best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the
unwanted dog he has left behind. Her own battle against grief is
intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane
traumatized by the inexplicable disappearance of its master, and
by the threat of eviction: dogs are prohibited in her apartment
building. While others worry that grief has made her a victim of
magical thinking, the woman refuses to be separated from the dog
except for brief periods of time. Elegiac and searching, The
Friend is both a meditation on loss and a celebration of
human-canine devotion.
Characters: 79. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Fiction.
