Timoleon Vieta Come Home

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 composure in exile. Until, that is, the mysterious and malevolent ‘Bosnian’ comes to stay. How will the stranger affect the bond between dog and master? Timoloen Vieta Come Home is a deeply moving and hysterically funny free-wheelin’ take on the Lassie legend.
