A
New York Times Book Review
Editors' Choice
Inspired by her account in
The New Yorker
of adopting a profoundly troubled dog named Buster, acclaimed author Cathleen Schine's
The New Yorkers
is a brilliantly funny story of love, longing, and overcoming the shyness that leashes us. On a quiet little block near Central Park, five lonely New Yorkers find one another, compelled to meet by their canine companions. Over the course of four seasons, they emerge from their apartments, in snow, rain, or glorious sunshine to make friends and sometimes fall in love. A love letter to a city full of surprises,
is an enchanting comedy of manners (with dogs!) from one of our most treasured writers.
