chai65 's review for:

The Lost Dog by Michelle de Kretser
4.0

4.5 stars. I love de Kretser's turn of phrase. So many sections I underlined on my kindle. An example (which may lose something out of context), about the narrator's disapproving aunt Audrey with whom his mother lives: "Audrey said, 'I draw the line at nursing'. There were many such lines, existence taking on for his aunt the aspect of a dense cross-hatching."
