Review "This absolutely engrossing tale is written with a serene poise."ย โSunday Times Product Description The utterly beguiling and moving story of what happens when a man who is becoming tired of life meets a donkey called Carolineโaย strange and beautifulย modern Aesop's fableWhen Mr. Shaw meets Caroline on his summer holiday she turns his world upside down. Caroline, whose eyes a man could drown in. Caroline, who likes spring onions. Caroline, who is in fact a donkey. To the outrage of his neighbors and the bemusement of his wife, when Mr. Shaw returns to the city he takes Caroline with him. She plays chess magnificently, charms his colleagues, and, most importantly, Caroline reawakens in Mr Shaw an appetite for life he thought he'd lost. But can this idyll last? Unfolding with the beauty and power of fable, this tale depicts a glorious Indian summer in one man's life. It is tender, funny, and endlessly enjoyable.
