<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One of Québec's hottest writers gives an intimate portrayal of life on the streets ... and the importance of animal companionship.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Mathieu lives in the street by choice, eschewing drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol. His main companion is his dog Sam, a pitbull, who he says has helped keep him alive. When Sam disappears, Mathieu's frantic search to find her brings him into confrontation with the secrets of his own past and the pain and grief that drove him onto the street. The novel is a monologue from Mathieu's point of view, a sort of confessional in which Mathieu opens up to the reader. In flashbacks to his past, we discover the tragedies of his life and the people he has lost. In this book about survivors, Bienvenu takes a tender look at the underside of our cities, and the people that get left behind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] sad, sweet, ultimately hopeful tale.-- "Montreal Review of Books"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sophie Bienvenu is an author and screenwriter.
