Timoleon Vieta Come Home: A Sentimental Journey

Dan Rhodes

Meet the mongrel. Timoleon Vieta. A deeply loyal, undemanding and loving companion …with the most beautiful eyes. He’s living an idyllic existence in the Italian countryside with Cockroft, a composer in exile. Until, that is, the mysterious and malevolent Bosnian comes to stay. How will the stranger affect the bond between dog and master? Timoleon Vieta Come Home is a free-wheeling take on the Lassie legend, deeply moving and hysterically funny.

Reviews of Timoleon Vieta Come Home: A Sentimental Journey

'Everybody should go out and buy a copy of Timoleon Vieta… A story worthy of W. G. Sebald, universal in its scope and ambition.' ROSE TREMAIN, Daily Telegraph
