Looking back on all the enjoyment and pleasure that Bud brought to us and others who crossed his path, I find it hard to believe now that I initially rejected the idea of bringing another dog into our home to look after, much less an old stray one. My wife Nikki somehow knew that this old dog was special but at first I didnt care when he ran away. I felt he was an ingrate when the call of the chase was greater than our welcoming home. After a time of being patient with him and having him neutered, he became a loyal and obedient friend. There are a lot of Buds out there of all sizes that need the love and companionship of a caring mastereven if its only for a short time.

A lyrical and arresting novel by acclaimed Icelandic writer Olaf Olafsson about one woman's redemptive journey home. Disa Jonsdottir has managed an inn for years with her companion, Anthony, in the English countryside. Compelled by the demands of time to revisit the village of her childhood, she departs England for her native Iceland. Along the way memories surface-of the rift between her and her mother, of the fate of her German-Jewish lover, of the trauma she experienced while working as a cook in a wealthy household. Skillfully weaving past and present, Olafsson builds toward an emotional climax that renders The Journey Home moving, suspenseful, and unforgettable.
