Old Dogs and Children
by Robert Inman
August 2000
Synopsis
"Bright Birdsong, widow and mother of prominent politicians, relives the challenges and choices, frustrations and joys, of small-town life in the South. A masterpiece of old-fashioned storytelling that vividly evokes one woman's remarkable life and her struggle to make peace with the past." (Publisher)
Reviews
- "Old Dogs and Children is a novel that shimmers with joy and wisdom, understanding and forgiveness. Its uncommon heroine, Bright Birdsong, takes full possession of a reader's heart. Robert Inman is a writer of exquisite perception, boundless generosity and grace." (Susan Dodd - Author of 'Old Wives' Tales')
- "Old Dogs and Children has a fearsome power and yet at the same time is warm and funny. That's the kind of strength we need now in our fiction--and in the world we live in. And that's why living in Robert Inman's world for a while is a grand and indelible experience." (Fred Chappell - Author of 'I Am One of You Forever')
