About the Author:

Elizabeth Kelly is the author of The Miracle on Monhegan Island, the New York Times bestseller Apologize, Apologize!, and The Last Summer of the Camperdowns, a finalist for the New England Society Book Award.

Review:

''Risk-taking fiction from Kelly (The Last Summer of the Camperdowns, 2013, etc.), this time featuring a canine narrator, an apparition, and a whole mess of trouble between fathers and sons. Whatever resemblance the wry musings of Ned may bear to the inner life of an actual Shih Tzu, he serves Kelly brilliantly as an outside observer suddenly thrown into the dysfunctional interactions of the Monahan family...Kelly allows her vulnerable, fallible characters to grope toward better understandings of themselves and each other, with Ned acting as their engaging and affectionate chronicler. More terrific work from a writer who gets better with each book.'' --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

''Who needs a bird's eye view when you can see the world through a dog's eyes instead? All the better if that world happens to be gorgeous coastal Maine, as seen by the opinionated family pup in Elizabeth Kelly's exquisite and occasionally uproarious Miracle on Monhegan Island. If you think your family is dysfunctional, you'll love the madcap Monahans. Their story is so memorable, touching and dog-eat-dog (sorry), it can only be told by a true insider.'' --Elisabeth Egan, author of A Window Opens
