P. Putnam's Sons, $c [2020] 300 $a 339 pages ; $c 24 cm 520 $a The world has changed around seventy-nine-year-old librarian Millicent Carmichael, aka Missy. Though quick to admit that she often found her roles as a housewife and mother less than satisfying, Missy once led a bustling life driven by two children, an accomplished and celebrated husband, and a Classics degree from Cambridge. Now her husband is gone, her daughter is estranged after a shattering argument, and her son has moved to his wife's native Australia, taking Missy's beloved only grandchild half-a-world away. She spends her days sipping sherry, avoiding people, and rattling around in her oversized, under-decorated house waiting for...what exactly? The last thing Missy expects is for two perfect strangers and one spirited dog named Bob to break through her prickly exterior and show her just how much love she still has to give. In short order, Missy finds herself in the jarring embrace of an eclectic community that simply won't take no for an answer--including a rambunctious mutt-on-loan whose unconditional love gives Missy a reason to re-enter the world one muddy paw print at a time. 650 0 $a Middle-aged women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mother and child $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Old age $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Femmes d'aÌge moyen $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a MeÌre et enfant $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a AmitieÌ $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Relations homme-animal $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a FICTION / Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Family Life / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Mother and child. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01026878 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963482 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Middle-aged women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020409 650 7 $a Family members. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Mothers. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Children. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Friendships. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Old age $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Elderly women $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Widows $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Mother-child relationship $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Friendship $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Dogs $x Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Animal behavior $v Fiction. $2 sears 655 2 $a Fictional Work $0 (DNLM)D022922 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230119141341.0 $m FIC MOR $n 10 $p + 1 lp 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0DC3B12AF0CE11ECBB5FC64E213FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
