Protecting Marie

Protecting Marie is a book about a girl called Fanny who lives with her mom, Ellen, and her dad, Henry. Henry teaches drawing and painting at the university.
When Fanny was 11, on a very hot June afternoon, her father brought home a black labrador puppy.
At first, everything is fine. But then, after a few weeks,all you can hear around the house is: " Good God, does she ever stop barking?", "Get her off the couch, now!", and"Damn it, she's tearing around the garden again. I will not eat lettuce that's been peed on !". Henry is furious! Sadly, Nellie (the puppy) has to go.
So Fanny gets worried when, a year later, her father brings home a full grown dog named Dinner.
Fanny has to go through worries, a very faint hint of romance, a little adventure and more in this heartmelting tale.
I think this book is the kind of book you start reading, and then you can't stop until you're done. It also can have lots of ways to connect to easily.
I recommend this book mostly to dog lovers, but also to people who can't stop reading.
