Kurzbeschreibung
Juliet's been in hiding. From her family, from her life, but most of all from the fact that Ben's not around anymore. Her mother Diane has run out of advice. But then she insists Juliet look after her elderly Labrador and it becomes apparent that Coco the dog might actually be the one who can rescue her daughter. Especially when it leads to her walking dogs for a few other locals too, including a spaniel, Damson, who belongs to a very attractive man...Before she knows it, Juliet realises she has somehow become the town's unofficial pet-sitter. A job which makes her privy to the lives and secrets of everyone whose animals she's caring for. But as her first winter alone approaches, she finally begins to wonder if it's time to face up to her own secrets? To start rebuilding her own life? And maybe - just maybe - to fall in love again?

It is a lovely story, a bit sad sometimes because the main character is overcoming the loss of her husband. I enjoyed the book. The plot is nice but the style of writing isn't so fascinating that I would reread the story. At any case the book is better as I expected, not boring, includes some surprises and a bit of a happy end. Excellent read for Chrismas time or for winter evenings.

Ich habe mir dieses Buch aus London mitgebracht weil mir das Cover gefiel, so "mädchenhaft". Die ersten paar Seiten haben mich noch zweifeln lassen ob ich damit einen guten Kauf getätigt habe aber dann wurde die Geschichte wirklich immer schöner und tiefer. Am Ende habe ich das Buch mit einem Lächeln weggelegt und mir gewünscht die Geschichte würde noch weitergehen. Die Story hat, für mich, ein paar Wendungen die ich so nicht erwartet hatte. Ein paarmal dachte ich die Geschichte wäre vorhersehbar und dann war sie es doch nicht. Ich kann das Buch wirklich empfehlen.

Life takes us on many journeys, this is how we grow. This is the story of the growth of one woman and those who helped her. This is a must read if you have a sister who is also a wonderful friend and a pet who meant the world to you.

An endearing read, especially if you love dogs

I'll admit it: I'm a sucker for any book featuring a dog on the cover. Sometimes the story inside isn't that great; however, this time it was. Dillon creates vivid, interesting, believable characters that I actually liked and cared about. This was one of those books that, despite the sadness of Juliet's loss, felt cozy. I became throughly wrapped up in the intertwining plots and was totally surprised by the twist of 'Mark' / Michael's involvement in the story (did NOT see that one coming - kudos, Ms. Dillon!) I intend to read other works by this author and will absolutely recommend this particular one to friends. I should probably add that I am an incredibly picky reader, especially when it comes to fiction, often putting books down after 40 or 50 pages if the writing, characters, plot or any combination thereof don't click for me. This one was a pleasure from start to finish.

Walking Back to Happiness by Lucy Dillon
Contemporary Romance -Dec. 6th, 2011
4 stars
Juliet has recently lost her husband and remains in hiding from the world. Unable to overcome her grief over losing Ben, she refuses to leave the house even to take Minton, her husband's loyal dog, out for a walk. When Juliet's mum forces her out of the house and into starting a dog-walking mini business, Juliet resists interacting other people but eventually, begins to find her way back into living again. Along the way, Juliet finds herself attracted to the handsome owner of a spaniel and drawn to the chaotic, charming life of her neighbor - an overworked mum with three kids, a dad who's in a band, and an Irish houseguest that helps Juliet fix her house. Slowly, Juliet realizes that it's time to let go and start again...
This was a depressing book in the beginning. For someone who's married, this book hits me right in my greatest fear - what will life be if you lose your other half? I really didn't enjoy the first part of the book simply because it scared me. Towards the end, when Juliet slowly recovers, I started to appreciate the story for what it is - a heartwarming tale of a woman who rediscovers life again. I especially like the sub-plot of Juliet's perfect sister who goes through a mid-life crisis and has an affair. I thought it was really sweet of Juliet to finally get out of her self-involved cocoon and reach out to her sister. The second theme of redemption and appreciating all your loved ones is very touching.
Even though the dogs do play a huge part in Juliet's recovery, the star of the book is clearly Juliet. She's flawed and unlikable at times, but she's real and you can feel her pain. Not for the faint of heart, this is a serious, thoughtful read on life after loss and the resilience of the human heart.
