Critics Review
A most triumphant trespassing of human imagination into dog sensibilities… The result is a book of irresistible grace and charm
A most triumphant trespassing of human imagination into dog sensibilities… The result is a book of irresistible grace and charm * Spectator *Flush is an afternoon’s delight for dog-loving readers. It’s wit and whimsy and sniffing, snuffling playfulness will amuse anyone who’s ever known a spaniel. Woolf’s literary underdog is a canine classic. * Guardian *A masterpiece… It is not fiction because it has the substance, the reality of truth. It is not biography because it has the freedom, the artistry of fiction * New York Herald Tribune Books *
