A Beginner's Guide to Separation Anxiety - Hoogmoed, Jo van

. .

Résumé :
Portia Weaver's life is ... complicated. An imminent career end and that outrageous swap-o-rama scheme devised by her narcissistic ex-husband, the man she still idolizes, and his immune-to-observation wife. And let's not forget those despicable dognappers, a cat with murderous intent, to-die-for international desserts, conspiring weasels, cycling ladies, a budding love-interest potter, and the unexpected arrival of a greyhound who just happens to talk ... human. As Portia stumbles through complications and obligations, the latter, as dictated by the dog, both human and canine, eventually discover 'that something' they've always wanted but never thought to expect.

Biographie:
Jo van Hoogmoed and Portia Weaver share many attributes. Both had long careers in high-tech and embraced life without log-on when retirement knocked. Where their paths deviate, Hillary, Jo's retired racing greyhound, has never once accused her of enormity of stupid, nor dismissed cycling as a pointless endeavour. In fact, Hillary has kept her own counsel in all conversations and on all observations.Jo lives in the charming Ontario century town of Orangeville, northwest of Toronto, and has the incredible fortune of having a loud, joyful family-sons and sisters, daughters-in-law and brothers-in-law, and nieces and nephews aplenty. Lucky her.
