SUMMARY:Carrie Tiffany - The Lady With the Dog
LOCATION:Upstairs at Gleebooks
DESCRIPTION:6pm for 6.30pm Monday 26th October\n\nCarrie Tiffany in convers
 ation with Kate Grenville\n\nA masterful novella about the role of animals
  in language and life from the award-winning author of Mateship with Birds
  and Exploded View.\n\nThe Lady with the Dog is a deeply moving\, poetic n
 ovella loosely based on the author’s observations of her mother and step
 father in their final months. It centres on a woman living with Alzheimer
 ’s\, deeply attached to the dog she’s recently adopted with her devote
 d but unwell husband. As the woman’s condition worsens\, the dog becomes
  both companion and symbol\, anchoring her to the world. The novella trans
 forms real events experienced by Tiffany’s parents during Western Austra
 lia’s extended COVID lockdown into a resonant imaginative narrative of m
 emory\, love and loss.\n\nWith whimsical drawings from artist Noel McKenna
 \, The Lady with the Dog is a homage to the exquisite sadness of Chekhov
 ’s famous short story and offers readers an experience of rare emotional
  clarity and grace.\n\n\nCarrie Tiffany was born in West Yorkshire and gre
 w up in Western Australia. Her first novel\, Everyman’s Rules for Scient
 ific Living\, was shortlisted for the Orange Prize\, the Miles Franklin Li
 terary Award\, the Guardian First Book Award and the Commonwealth Writers

 d for fiction. Her third novel\, Exploded View\, was shortlisted for the M
