About This Book
Claire Cook's beguilingly original Ready to Fall struck a vibrant chord
with its "perky take on midlife angst" (Publishers Weekly). In Must Love
Dogs she gives us a contemporary Everywoman in a big rollicking
south-of-Boston Irish family-a zany novel with the flavor of Nora Ephron,
Susan Isaacs, and Jeanne Ray's Julie and Romeo.
Forty-year-old Sarah Hurlihy, a divorced preschool teacher whose life is
her classroom, is about to meet her first date in more than a decade. It
was the "Loves Dogs" that hooked her in the personal ad, and now she is
scanning her neighborhood cafe for the man with a yellow rose. And find
him she does, but he's the last person on earth she expects to find
there . . .
In Must Love Dogs, hilarious missteps abound. Sarah's widowed father,
Billy Hurlihy, with six adult kids, is seeing at least two women. And he
and Sarah aren't the only Hurlihys with romantic challenges. Her brother
Michael, for one, has a rocky marriage that Mother Teresa, his St.
Bernard, just may put over the edge. With self-deprecating humor and a
laugh-out-loud view of the way we live now, including shar pei/Labrador
crosses and a transgenerational body-piercing experience, Must Love Dogs
is a perfect beach read that melts the heartache of dating with warmth
and humor.
