Boy, an uncannily shaggy canine of unknown origins, and now undisputed master of the Mayle household, recounts his event-filled life in Provence in this unique, rollicking memoir. A pure-bred paranoid labouring under delusions of grandeur, Boy is a character of rich intricacy. His journal – somewhere between Proust and Eeyore – contains apercus by Voltaire or Machiavelli cheek by jowl with hints on dealing with clumsy human feet under the dinner table, amorous interludes alongside run-ins with plumbers, and athletic diversions interspersed with joyous and trying adventures in the French countryside. Boy’s reflections on life and the relationship between man and dog – and his occasional revelation about the human condition – come from a refreshingly new perspective, that is, approximately knee-height, making him an irresistible, if often irascible, companion.
