The Dogs of Littlefield
The Dogs of Littlefield | Suzanne Berne
9 posts | 12 read | 18 to read
A brilliantly done (Sunday Times, London) comedy of manners that explores the unease behind the manicured lawns of suburban America from the Orange Prizewinning author of A Crime in the Neighborhood.Littlefield, Massachusetts, named one of the Ten Best Places to Live in America, full of psychologists and college professors, is proud of its fine schools, its girls soccer teams, its leafy streets, and charming village center. Yet no sooner has sociologist Dr. Clarice Watkins arrived to study the elements of good quality of life than someone begins poisoning the towns dogs. Are the poisonings in protest to an off-leash proposal for Baldwin Parkthe subject of much town debateor the sign of a far deeper disorder? Certainly these types of things dont happen in Littlefield. With an element of suspense, satirical social commentary, and in-depth character portraits, Suzanne Bernes nuanced novel reveals the discontent concealed behind the manicured lawns and picket fences of darkest suburbia. The Dogs of Littlefield is a compelling, poignant yet unsentimental novel that examines life, love, and loss (Sunday Mirror, UK).

#TBRtemptation post! Littlefield, Massachusetts, is one of the country's 10 Best Places To Live. Sociologist Dr. Clarice Watkins, shows up to study the town--it's fine schools & college professors, it's great sports teams & leafy streets. But when she arrives, the town's dogs begin to get poisoned! Is the off-leash proposal for the park driving this, or are there deeper reasons behind the lawns' beautiful facades? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

Thekelburrows Amber Brock (author of A Fine Imitation) is a friend of mine and her book is prettay prettay prettay great. Yeah! 7y

Thanks to a bad migraine I stayed at home with green tea, a tuna sandwich and a book while the husband and my mum took the kids out to Santouka ramen for lunch. A short nap (and pain meds) later and things are finally better. Have put on Totoro for the kids to watch and am about to finish this book. But first time to visit my Litsy friends and add some S American reads to my list! Hope you're having a good Sunday or Monday! What are you reading?

BoldCityBooks I liked this book mostly but the reviews on it weren't spectacular. 8y
KellyK Glad you're feeling better! 8y
Dragon Glad your migraine is better 😀I'm trying to decide what to read next. 8y

lovelybookshelf Glad you're starting to feel better! ❤ 8y
GlitteryOtters I'm so glad you are feeling better (I swear, green tea has magical healing properties, it definitely seems to help my migraines more than the only pain meds I'm allowed--acetaminophen--if properly paired with rest & dark rooms!). 💕 8y
Librarygal08 Feel better been sick today myself and im reading Six of crows :) 8y
Kazen Much dark, quiet love from a fellow migraineur - so glad to hear the 💊 and 🍵(and 📘!) did their thing 👍 8y

WOCreads Eww migraines! Glad you're feeling better!! 8y
SaraFair Have you tried Treximet for the migraines? It has saved my life. I am looking for migraines next week though, when hurricane Matthew comes by. 8y
RealLifeReading @optojake yes I've seen the rather dismal goodreads ratings! But I did enjoy this! 8y
RealLifeReading Thanks @KellyK @Dragon @KVanRead @Graciouswarriorprincess @lovelybookshelf so much better 8y
RealLifeReading @alanacristin I know right ? They love the noodles and the little bowls of rice and pork that come with the set. 8y
RealLifeReading @GlitteryOtters green tea is magical! I drink it when I have sore throats and it's soothing and comforting for headaches and migraines too. I also like rooibos tea if you haven't tried that before. 8y
RealLifeReading @Librarygirl88 hope you're feeling better!! 8y
RealLifeReading @SaraFair I've not tried that before. Usually I just take Advil or Tylenol and that works (I tend to get migraines mostly if I don't eat on time so usually I know when it's coming. This time it came out of nowhere and was really just so piercing) 8y
RealLifeReading Thanks @Ifyoucanreadthis_Bina @kmdartist doing a lot better by then 8y
RealLifeReading @AudreyMorris the migraine hit me hard when I first woke up yesterday so I had to lie in bed for a couple of hours before I managed to get up! By the time I posted this it was already a lot better 8y
RealLifeReading Thanks @Kazen it's nice to know someone understands! I'm the only one in the family who seems to get migraines! 8y
RealLifeReading Thanks @Rhondareads @fern @Godmotherx5 luckily things are all clear today (so far!) 8y
EnidBiteEm 😢I'm sorry to hear about the migraine, but thank goodness for Totoro. My boys love that film too 😍. So special. 8y
RealLifeReading @EnidBiteEm it has been one of my favourites for ages! I was just so pleased that they loved it too 8y

The saddest adult lesson of all: that so much of life was just something to get through.

Littlefield, Massachsetts has been named the 6th best place to live in the US. If this is true, why does a small insular town need nearly 2,000 psychotherapists and psychiatrists? Why has someone begun poisoning the dogs in the town? Delightful read with loads of quirky, wealthy dingbat residents.

Littlefield, Massachusetts is considered the 6th best place to live in the US, but can this be true? A disproportionate number of its residents are psychologists and someone is poisoning the dogs of that town. Just started the audio on my walk today and enjoying it at the 35% mark.

Gulfsidemusing Seems like you're reading more animal books lately? 😉 8y
