About this listen
I'm known as "the most famous dog in Britain" and I still don't quite understand it...All I did was defend myself against an overly aggressive royal goose near Buckingham Palace. Suddenly the press was hounding me. Then, after I put paw to papers to tell my side of the story, it became a big best seller! And I was nominated for the Author of the Year Award - the only animal (Tom Wolfe is a man). I hope you'll like my "heartwarming story of triumph over adversity." It follows my rise from strayhood to life with a famous journalist. But what I really do is unleash all the secrets between Pet and Man - something even the feline/feather/fish-dependent will find fascinating!
Love and biscuits,
Buster

When Monty Don's golden retriever, Nigel, became the surprise star of BBC's Gardeners' World, inspiring huge interest, fan mail and even his own social media accounts, Monty Don wanted to explore what makes us connect with animals quite so deeply. In many respects Nigel is a very ordinary dog - charming, handsome and obedient, as so many are. He is also a much loved family pet. He is also a star. By telling Nigel's story, Monty relates his relationships with other special dogs in his life in a memoir of his dogs past and very much present.

When street musician James Bowen found an injured cat curled up in the hallway of his apartment building, he had no idea how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London, barely making enough money to feed himself - the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet, James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent, but very sick animal, whom he named Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, never imagining that he would see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
There were plans for an official welcome. It was to take place the following Sunday. But those who came to the rectory on Father Pennant's second day were the ones who could not resist seeing him sooner. Here was the man to whom they would confess the darkest things. It was important to feel him out. Mrs. Young, for instance, after she had watched him eat a piece of her macaroni pie, quietly asked what he thought of adultery. André Alexis brings a modern sensibility and a new liveliness to an age-old genre, the pastoral.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
There were plans for an official welcome. It was to take place the following Sunday. But those who came to the rectory on Father Pennant's second day were the ones who could not resist seeing him sooner. Here was the man to whom they would confess the darkest things. It was important to feel him out. Mrs. Young, for instance, after she had watched him eat a piece of her macaroni pie, quietly asked what he thought of adultery. André Alexis brings a modern sensibility and a new liveliness to an age-old genre, the pastoral.

With an eye for rendering the timely in a timeless way and enchanting audiences with lyrical prose and grace, Ali Smith's ambitious Seasonal Quartet—a series of four stand-alone novels, separate but interconnected—artfully guided us through #MeToo, Brexit, the refugee crisis, a global pandemic, and more. Now, Smith's highly anticipated Companion Piece looks to the future and builds upon this "time-sensitive project". This new novel stands apart from the Quartet, which remains discrete unto itself.

Don't miss this--
My husband heard an excerpt from this audiobook on XM radio, and suggested that I look for it.
Ten minutes later, I downloaded it.
It is superb. I laughed out loud on many occasions. Usually authors are not terribly good narrators, but this is a notable exception.
You will love Buster and his Man, and relish the journey as Buster learns what it is like to be a dog.
Highest accolades here.
