Between a Wolf and a Dog

By: Georgia Blain

Narrated by: Taylor Owynns

Ester is a family therapist with an appointment book that catalogues the anxieties of the middle class: loneliness, relationships, death. She spends her days helping others find happiness, but her own family relationships are tense and frayed. Ester is yearning to fall in love again. Meanwhile, her ex-husband's past decisions are catching up with him, her sister is struggling through her own directionless life and her mother is about to make a choice that will profoundly affect them all.

Critic reviews

"Blain just gets better and better...so commanding and beautifully written it made me cry." (Charlote Wood, author of The Natural Way of Things)

"Blain is a quietly profound writer and this is a remarkable book." (Michelle de Kretser)

A novel that lives up to its fine title

A beautifully rendered family narrative, moments of love and kindness and happiness alongside sadness and careless cruelty. Satisfying!
