The Friend by Sigrid Nunez

The Friend by Sigrid Nunez

When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the dog he has left behind. While others worry that grief has made her a victim of magical thinking, the woman refuses to be separated from the dog except for brief periods of time. Isolated from the rest of the world, increasingly obsessed with the dog's care, determined to read its mind and fathom its heart, she comes dangerously close to unravelling. The Friend is both a meditation on loss and a celebration of human-canine devotion.

Sigrid Nunez is the New York Times bestselling author of many books, including What Are You Going Through and The Last of Her Kind, which won the 2018 National Book Award. Sempre Susan: A Memoir of Susan Sontag is her first book. More than twenty-five languages have been translated into her work.
