The movie is playing free on Youttube, I haven't had the fortitude to watch it yet. ( ) To Dance With the White Dog - Terry Kay 4 stars This was an impulsive Kindle bargain buy. I remembered the Hallmark movie and the bittersweet performances of Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy. Or maybe, I just remembered that it was the last time the two of them worked together before Tandy passed away. I was prepared to keep my box of tissues handy. The story begins as the elderly Sam Peek is grieving the death of his wife. I was actually surprised that the story didn’t drip with sentiment although it was heartfelt. I loved the old man’s relationship with his mysterious white dog. There’s that touch of magical realism hovering around the fortuitous appearance (and disappearance) of the white dog. I enjoyed the way Sam Peak used the unusual dog to tease his daughters and mess with their overly solicitous caretaking. I liked the way this old man coped with his limitations, accepting that the end of life was near, but refusing to stop living. I appreciated this book’s portrayal of profound grief. It’s a short book and the character’s grief is there in every sentence. But, he isn’t only grieving. He makes plans and sets goals for himself. He takes an interest in current events and reflects on his life. He visits old friends and enjoys his extended family. He takes comfort in that white dog. This book checked all my warm fuzzy boxes. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
