Title: A Dog's Life
Author: Michael Holroyd
Narrator: Jonathan Keeble
Format: Unabridged
Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins
Language: English
Release date: 04-05-16
Publisher: Quercus
Genres: Fiction, Contemporary
Publisher's Summary:
Eustace is the undisputed patriarch of the Farquhar family - that is, he would be if everyone left him alone so he could get on with things, like shaving and finding his way downstairs.
It's not Henry's fault that he snores and that his marriage has collapsed. Or that he failed to get into the cricket team. But he has made up for it and is now a faster motorist than ever he was a bowler. He is a good father, too, and one day when he wakes up from daydreaming, his son, Kenneth, will thank him.
It is good that Anne sleeps with a whistle in her mouth - how else could she terrify the burglars? As for Mathilda, she would love to like her mother but prefers going for long walks with the dog. But what will happen to them all if the dog dies?
The story is followed by a devastating postscript. Placing this eccentric family in isolation after two world wars and at the beginning of our aggressive financial culture, it turns comedy into tragedy. A Dog's Life marks a very personal addition to Michael Holroyd's remarkable career.
Critic Reviews:
"One of the great biographers of our age." (Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph)
"Michael Holroyd has a great novelist's sense of the obstinate mystery of the human person." (George Steiner)
"A writer who can do with English what his forbears so signally could not do with money; keep its value up." (Candia McWilliam, London Evening Standard)
