Pug Hill is Definitely SO much more than chick lit...........
For people who 'don't love, or don't know dogs' this wonderful novel Pug Hill has been written by a shiny bright author {Alison Pace} whoses sense of storytelling and narrative skills create intrigue; it is not only fabulously charming; it is a fascinating narrative of the main character's mind 'self talk', and inner and outer life as an art restorer...and as a woman who has learned to find relief and insight about life, action, joy........whenever she walks to visit and watach the pug dogs playing at Pug Hill in Central Park New York.
I rarely read fiction; I started and finished this book, -- thoroughly enjoying the surprises within each chapter...........and I finished the novel not only feeling wise and proud of my respect for what any dog can teach any human being, {if the human being isn't too stubbon to be taught}.......but also so satisfied with how Alison Pace's writing talent and her love for the turn of the phrase, as it wre, kept me interested, entertained, chuckling, and, wondering about the plot outcomes.
I refuse to call it chick lit..........because Pace has mastered a narrative form of writing that SO makes a reader glad for the skill of reading, and enjoying life. Amen.
