About this product
Product Information
THE GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOKS OF 2021 CBC BOOKS THE BEST CANADIAN FICTION OF 2021 A fresh take on the romance novel from the Giller Prize-winning author of Fifteen Dogs From their first meeting, it was clear that Gwen and Tancred were meant to be together. But, as we know, the course of true love never did run smooth. Gwen's mother, intuiting that her daughter is in love, gives her a magic ring that has been passed down through endless generations of mothers and daughters. This ring grants its wearer the opportunity to change three things about her beloved. Like all blessings, this may also be a curse. Ring turns the literary romance upside down and shakes out its pockets. It's a playful meditation on the past, on magic, on race, on honour, on faith, and, yes, on love. Following on the heels of Pastoral, Fifteen Dogs, The Hidden Keys, and Days by Moonlight, Ring completes Alexis's Quincunx, a group of five genre-bending, philosophically sophisticated, and utterly delightful novels. "A great novel doesn't try to answer questions, but, like Days by Moonlight , complicates them. " -- The Globe and Mail on Days by Moonlight "This imaginative travelogue will amuse readers even as it raises weightier issues. " -- Publishers Weekly on Days by Moonlight "I'm far from being a dog person, but as a book person I loved this smart, exuberant fantasy from start to finish. " -- The Guardian on Fifteen Dogs "A clever exploration of our essence, communication, and how our societies are organized. " -- Kirkus Reviews on Fifteen Dogs "Ring raises questions about love, marriage, fidelity, and the divine." -- Canadian Writers Abroad "A tour de force by an accomplished writer, Ring reminds us there are still mysteries in the world that are well worth exploring." --Necessary Fiction

Reviews
"Told with a sense of inevitability and fate, Ring is an enchanting and sophisticated fable in which love is transformative." --Forward Reviews, "Alexis churns up a consistent supply of wry, pithy lines ('People fall out of respect as easily as they fall out of love') while maintaining the tension between the threat and hope that the ring offers ... [a] pleasantly unusual outing." -- Publishers Weekly, "André Alexis, the wildly inventive Canadian author who gives me very strong Percival Everett/ Colson Whitehead vibes." --Josh Cook (Porter Square Books), "Alexis churns up a consistent supply of wry, pithy lines ('People fall out of respect as easily as they fall out of love') while maintaining the tension between the threat and hope that the ring offers ...

This is a very good book about caring for the dog coat but hardly anything about clipping coat for breed styles. I was disappointed.
