I've had the book on my Kindle since April 2016, and I bought it because I enjoyed A Man Called Ove. Also because I am a fan of grandmother/granddaughter relationships and quirky characters.<br /><br />The long title felt intimidating...which is silly.<br /><br />So now...I am moving it on up!

But as you go on reading I really discovered that this one was unique, like you, and that it is terribly adorable and meaningful too. I'm glad you could love it as well. I can't wait to read more by him.

So very un-curmudgeonly! I have a Newfoundland and I expressed that I was sure The Wurse was a Newfoundland. He denied it stating that, by definition, The Wurse could not be a dog because it is a WURSE. In the end, he did admit there were some similarities. If you liked this book, I highly recommend Britt Marie Was-Here!Lit·Wit·Wine·Dinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15867727947395700947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-86787392607414848682017-10-03T18:34:50.330-06:002017-10-03T18:34:50.330-06:00You have convinced me!
