Book Details

How does a man addicted to routine and who flosses his teeth before lovemaking, cope with the chaos of everyday life? Meet Macon Leary, a travel writer who hates both travel and strangeness. Grounded by loneliness, comfort, and a somewhat odd domestic life, he is about to embark on a surprising new adventure, arriving in the form of a fuzzy-haired dog obedience trainer who thrusts him into a remarkable engagement with life. A profound story on human emotions taken to the screen with stellar performances by William Hurt, Geena Davis, and Kathleen Turner.
