He's living an idyllic existence in the Italian countryside with Cockroft, a composer in exile. Until, that is, the mysterious and malevolent 'Bosnian' comes to stay. How will the stranger affect the bond between dog and master? Timoloen Vieta Come Home is a deeply moving and hysterically funny free-wheelin' take on the Lassie legend.

Cr�ticas:

A delight, a masterpiece of beautifully unforced comedy. * * Observer * * By turns hilarious and heartrending. Rhodes is that real, rare thing - a natural storyteller. * * Sunday Times * * Utterly captivating. * * Heat * * This intelligent, bitter-sweet novel, exploring the relationship between an effete, expatriate socialite living in the Italian country-side with the eponymous Timoleon Vieta ('a mongrel with the most beautiful eyes'), should only serve to cement that reputation and confirm his early promise. I forsee this title being a spring sensation for Canongate, and it has already created a great deal of word-of-mouth excitement in the trade. -- Greg Eden, Bookseller The best new writer in Britain. * * The Guardian * * Very funny and very sharp with crushingly wicked moments. * * The Times * *
