The Dogs of Littlefield – Suzanne Berne
R260.00A brilliantly executed psychological novel that deals with the hazards – real, imagined and created – of modern-day life and relationships, The Dogs of Littlefield is at once completely unsettling and utterly engrossing. Residents of Littlefield, a fictional town in New England (recently named one of the Ten Best Places to Live in America), enjoy a ‘good quality of life’. But when someone starts poisoning its dogs, a darker side of this seemingly idyllic small town begins to emerge. So it is in fact an unstable and fragile environment that Dr Clarice Watkins, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, enters when she decides to come and live Littlefield to study the ways of its apparently contented inhabitants. Very, very good.
