“Fanny sensed that from the moment she was born she was meant to have a dog. It was as though some unique and independent organ deep inside her, like a tiny heart, couldn’t thrive properly without one.”
This is Fanny’s story—a story about wanting and getting and realizing that nothing is simple or easy.
