The biography of Flush revolves around her owner Miss Mitford, a later Mrs. Elizabeth Barret Browning and how their relationship buckles and bends with a myriad of emotions. We observe human society and relationships through the eyes of the dog. An incredible reading journey written in the unique style of Woolf.
Quentin Bell: «Flush is not so much a book by a dog lover as a book by someone who would love to be a dog.»
Let us read this short novel and talk about it.
