Kudos for Because of a Dog

"Matthew Sigman has created something special in these pages: an inviting space where anyone who has ever grieved the loss of deep love―and isn’t that all of us?―can gather to bathe in the healing waters of shared human experience. I found myself rereading entire passages for the sheer elegance of the writing and its ability to transport me to places my heart had not visited in a very long time. Sigman has that rare gift of storytelling that invites the reader along on the adventure, not as observer but participant." ― John Grogan, New York Times bestselling author of Marley & Me

Because of a Dog had me laughing out loud in one line and unexpectedly reaching for the tissue box and browsing flights to small Italian towns in the next. It’s a rare blend of wit and poignancy that will deeply move anyone who has ever loved a dog." — Christina Hunger, New York Times bestselling author of How Stella Learned to Talk

“As delightful as the singular Italian village in its pages..”— Justine Van Der Sun, author of Marcus of Umbria: What an Italian Dog Taught an American Girl About Love
