The 'bonkers' book that 'it is impossible not to be moved by' DAILY MAIL A joyful and hilarious tale of some very spirited septuagenarians as they overcome innumerable obstacles to save their beloved mutt from a heartless exterminator in a land where bureaucracy reigns above all else. Perhaps you're not a member of the Azov House of Culture Elderly Club? Perhaps you missed the talk on the Cabbage Root Fly last week? Galina Petrovna hasn't missed a meeting, even if that means leaving her three-legged dog Boroda behind. Boroda isn't 'hers' exactly, they belong to each other, and that's why she doesn't wear a collar. And that's how Mitya the Exterminator got her. So everyone had to go to Moscow. Filled to the brim with pickle, misadventure and tears, Galina Petrovna's Three-Legged Dog Story will leave you smiling at every page. Gold title * This is the paperback that will put the spring back into your step this spring. * Bought from the Borough Press open submission, this was the diamond in the rough * Anyone who loves Rachel Joyce and Jonas Jonasson * Andrea spent five years living in Moscow so Galina is so rich with details that just fly off the page and make you feel like you yourself are on a train flying from Azov to Moscow Competition: The President'S Hat; My Cleaner; The Elegance Of The Hedgehog; Man At The Helm; The Red Notebook.
