Thoughtful & Imaginative Read for Everyone

A perfectly wonderful read. I picked up The Dog of Knots, found myself transported in time and place, and, when my journey had ended, I felt enlightened and thankful.This book touches upon so many emotions...the love of family and friends, the pain of loss, the anxiety of impending peril, and one remarkable unifying element...the simple and basic compassion for a tired old stray dog. Ms. Kaplan has shown us that humanity is both precious and everlasting, despite all of our religious and political differences.Deep in symbolism, rich in characters, and a story that has you enchanted from page one. The perfect 'family' book.
