Jackson Brodie “acquires” a neglected dog which serves as a mirror image
of an abused child.
The core of this story churns around a child welfare system that’s a
house of horror/errors. But, “Hope is
the thing with feathers,” one of my favorite lines of Emily Dickenson…did I
mention before that the author often gives voice to her characters through
poetry? Deeply affecting, Tracy (whose motives
may seem demented even) demonstrates that one determined person can make a
difference.
Plenty of bad guys but the flawed Jackson is once again a very good guy.
Little, Brown, 2011, 371 p.
