Review: Between a Wolf and a Dog
Gaby Meares
I knew of Georgia Blain’s death before I read this, so it’s impossible not to be influenced by the blurring between her character Hilary’s story, and Blain’s own.
This is a book about the sad, tragic, funny, joyful but ultimately wonderful mess we call life. The characters are all flawed, but honest and real: no one is perfect. Blain communicates her empathy for them all, and you, as the reader, share in this empathy.
When I finished this book, I felt more determined than ever to celebrate life and embrace it, mess and all!
