Sight Hound

"The much anticipated debut novel from the marvelous short-story writer Pam Houston."— Seattle Times "ENTERTAINING. . . . It's a poignant and joyous novel, a tear-jerker certain to appeal to those of us who suspect, foolishly or intuitively, that our pets' emotions are tightly bound to our own. Without excess sentimentality, Houston offers proof that fickle humans are capable of learning a lesson or two in devotion, even if the teacher has four legs and bad breath."— Miami Herald "The great news about Pam Houston's first novel is this: She turns out to be as good at fiction as she is at nonfiction. . . . All but the coldest hearts will find Sight Hound an astoundingly deep exploration into the desires of humans to connect."— Fort Worth Star-Telegram "Postfeminist toughness and post-hippie sentiment are the alternating currents in this wry, tender novel."— Publishers Weekly , starred review
