I loved Sigrid Nunez’s intimate writing style.  The narrator felt like a close friend telling me a story. A Harlequin Great Dane is a major character in this story about love, friendship , the mystery and pain surrounding suicide , and grief. I rarely read books a second time but this one I will . I’m also going to read her new book The Vulnerables .
