Visit and Report Done
Mar. 20th, 2017 05:40 pmAfter the rain it did dry up ,so in the end, not a bad day.
I was not that energised anyway, even after a weekend of relaxing.
One thing did amuse me though,and it was told by a friend of mine last night - so do not blame me - was this little peccadillo.
He was saying that a friend of his was suffering sleep deprivation and eating food allnight long. He was suffering from Insom-nom-nom-nomnia

Sun-Mi Hwang "The Dog Who Dared To Dream" (Abacus)
Wow - what a great little book and not just a shaggy dig story (pun intended).
The Dog Who Dared to Dream tells the story of Scraggy, the odd one out of the litter of pups born to a mother who’s life has been series of pregnancies. Scraggly slowly sees her family disappear for various reasons until one day there is just her left. Alone she sets off to see the world outside the gates of her home. We follow her as she encounters other animals and humans, and grows up with her owner Grandpa Screecher.
The novel shows the trials of life through the eyes of Scraggly, grief at losing loved ones, the importance of friendship and the cruelties that can lay at the hands we trust the most.
This is a charming and moving tale about the relationship between man and dog. The symbiotic relationship and the often times cruel one that can exist. It is also a sad tale, one of the loneliness Scraggly faces as her family leave her.
It is a parable about the vagaries of life, of hardship, sacrifice and love. Scraggly’s children leave, some dying, others sold, never to return and she pines their loss equally. I was soon caught up with Scraggly’s tale, pulled along by the narrative, and oddly moved by it.
This is a short novel, only 160 pages in length but it packs a lot of story into those few pages. There is a fairytale like sense to the book, helped not only by the canine lead character but by the translation, which I always find tends to lend an aura of magic to a story. It opens on the door a little on a different culture, one perhaps unknown and therefore a little mysterious offering a stunningly evocative description of Korean culture and village life, while keeping the world small and self-contained.
I finished this in a day it was that enchanting!
