About this eBook
'To live with someone for a long time requires an element of fiction – the selective use of facts to craft an ongoing story.'
Amid the debris of her friends' relationships, Tess has a marriage that's comparatively unscathed. But she's at a hinge moment, poised between her present life and the one she decided against in her youth. What could she have made of her life had she chosen differently? And what will she risk to find out?
Deceptively concise, The Girl with the Dogs is a masterful story about life from beginning to end, and about the brief moments of choice that have enduring consequences.
Includes Anton Chekhov's masterpiece, 'The Lady with the Dog'.
