The Old Man, His Dog & Their Longest Journey by Iain Maitland
FROM THE ACCLAIMED AUTHOR OF DEAR MICHAEL, LOVE DAD & OUT OF THE MADHOUSE 'I am Ian Wilkerson. 54 years old. Married forever. Three children. I have been made redundant. I believe I have cancer. And... I am losing my mind.' The announcement of a baby - his first grandchild - tips Ian's world upside down. As he struggles with his thoughts and feelings, a short walk with Bernard, his Jack Russell, turns into their longest journey. A story of love, loss and family ties, Ian and Bernard's funny, thought-provoking and emotional adventure will stay with you long after it comes to its dramatic ending.
An utterly compelling and intriguing story of a man, in late middle age, confronting his personal demons by walking out of his home one day without word, warning or explanationVery funny in some places, unspeakably poignant and sad in others. A philosophical and moving tale for our times Charlie Mortimer; A Tender and thoughtful novel exploring the bond between man and man's best friend ...sincere and evocative... Michael Simkins
