![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() This is the story of what happens when a dog steals a man's heart. Donald Atwell is a loner, living a rather isolated life as caretaker of a large Virginia mountain estate which is a second (or third or fourth) home to a pair of rich Texans who occasionally drop in and give Donald some elaborate renovation project to complete. One day when Donald's pickup truck is stalled by the side of the road, a battered blue Chevy Nova pulls up and deposits a skinny puppy before driving off. Donald intends to take the abandoned pup to the animal shelter after he gets his truck going and completes the errand for which he's already late. But he winds up making a trip to the vet instead for a puppy check-up and shots. Nova (Donald named her after the car which dropped her off) is one charmer of a dog -- naturally well-behaved and even-tempered -- and she brightens Donald's world. Then the nearby nursing home loses its lawn service, and Donald agrees to fill in "for a week or two" until they find someone else to do it -- and Donald and Nova make a whole new set of friends. I absolutely loved this gentle little book set in the mountains of Virginia. It was filled with quirky characters that I came to care about, and the setting was wonderful. I thought it was a really great read. I wasn't familiar with this author before, but I'd like to read more by him. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Donald Atwell didn't want a dog. He already had an ex-wife, a balky truck, and a cat that was part Persian and part Taliban. But when a passing yokel tossed his puppy out on the side of the road, Donald didn't have much choice but to pick her up and take her in. Jerusalem Gap is the story of how, in saving a mutt, one prickly old cuss saved himself a little as well. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
