An older man defends his bond with his dog and the remaining areas of his independence.

Lisa Ridzén brings large questions about care and autonomy into the scale of daily routines. Choose this for intimate fiction about ageing that takes attachment seriously. The central tension is the difference between wanting someone to be safe and understanding what makes that person's life feel like their own.

WHO IS IT FOR?
