| Summary | Annotation Told with such humour and suspense that it s hard to put down...A rare achievement, an unstintingly honest, hilarious, and dreadful delight. Globe and MailGreer Pentland is having a challenging year. Her teenaged son, Sam, is on trial for the murder of two senior citizens, a crime allegedly committed while he was sleepwalking. Greer is also battling breast cancer, a disease that has left her with a litany of physical side effects and deep anger toward the incompetence of the medical profession.Yet, in the face of all these obstacles, Greer s story is full of hope and delicious dark humour. Her indelible strength is fuelled by her unconditional love for her son and the moral support she receives from her 88-year-old aunt, a chain-smoking, vodka-swilling, vitamin-popping senior whose continual commentary on the morbid news of the day is wickedly funny and provocative. This novel about one courageous woman s fight to survive in a post-millennium culture gone mad is heroic, heart stopping, and affecting.The Barking Dog, the fifth novel from Cordelia Strube, Canada s pre-eminent writer of urban fiction, is an unforgettable portrait of modern life in these media-saturated, apocalyptic times." |
