Ackerley as “a fairy tale for adults.” Frank, the narrator, is a middle-aged civil servant, intelligent, acerbic, self-righteous, angry. He is in love with Johnny, a young, married, working-class man with a sweetly easygoing nature. When Johnny is sent to prison for committing a petty theft, Frank gets caught up in a struggle with Johnny’s wife and parents for access to him. Their struggle finds a strange focus in Johnny’s dog—a beautiful but neglected German shepherd named Evie. And it is she, in the end, who becomes the improbable and undeniable guardian of Frank’s inner world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46557227090147,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9781590173954","price":96.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9781590173954.jpg?v=1749877084","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9781590173954","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
