‘book review Tanya Mendonsa’

Coming afresh from James Heriott’s ‘Vet in Harness’, I was taken straight to a tale which sometimes read like a fairy tale romance. Two strangers separated by maps, bound by graying years meet on an eventful evening and shape the course of their lives. Like an old world romance breathing to life, The Book of Joshua narrates the heartwarming tale of this couple(Tanya Mendonsa and Antonio E Costa) and their animal friends. The lyrical verse painted in earnestness would for sure appeal to dog lovers across geographies. An ode to the bond between (wo)man and canine, the vivid narrative takes the reader right through to the whisker periphery of the protagonist, cocker spaniel ‘Joshua’.
