This is a lovely story that really drew me in. I was listening, and for the last two hours I couldn't put it down. It's sweet and warm, much like the main character, Tova. The young man, who figures prominently, is annoying, as other readers have noted, and I don't feel that his age in the story worked with his behavior and attitude. But I think that the author felt compelled for reasons that are clear when you read it. I love a story with a good animal character, especially when you get to hear his or her thoughts, and this delivered on that also. Marcellus is quite lovable and salty. It seems like she left room for a sequel, which I would happily read.
