Book Cover: Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts by Lucy Dillon
July 23rd, 2009 by ChloeThe cover for Lucy Dillon’s second novel Lost Dogs and Lonely Hearts has finally been released, so here it is! I think it’s absolutely gorgeous, and looks like a perfect winter read to snuggle up with under the duvet! It’s not released until 26th November so we’ve got a bit of a wait, but as the old saying goes “Good things come to those who wait”! Here’s the synopsis in case you’ve missed it before:
“When the abandoned strays from a local dogs’ home are matched with brand new owners, it turns out it might not just be the dogs who need rescuing.
Rachel’s aunt has left her a house, a Border Collie and, despite knowing nothing about dogs, a crowded kennels. But since her life has collapsed she’s not sure she can deal with any more lost souls.
Zoe’s ex-husband has given their children a puppy. The kids are in love, but she’s the one stuck training Toffee the impossible Labrador. She’s nearly at the end of her tether – until Toffee leads her to a handsome doctor…
Meanwhile Natalie and Johnny’s marriage hasn’t been easy since they started trying for a baby. But is a fridge-raiding, sofa-stealing Basset hound like Bertie really the child substitute they’re looking for?
As the new owners’ paths cross on the town’s dog-walking circuits, their lives become interwoven. And they – and their dogs – learn some important lessons about loyalty, companionship and unconditional love . . .”
I loved Lucy’s debut The Ballroom Class so hopefully this one will be just as good, or even better! Look out for it from 26th November through Hodder publishers.








OK, so I’m biased because I’m Lucy’s editor, but speaking as one of only a few who have read this so far, it is UTTERLY brilliant. You’ve got such a treat ahead. Do feel free to pre-order (!!!). I promise you won’t be disappointed.
