Coco is a Kings Cross chihuahua. She is also a model and an actress, who starred in the ABC-TV production, The Straits. Coco lives with her owners, Mandy Sayer and Louis Nowra, who are married but live in separate apartments. She is a clever and observant small creature who has had many passionate friendships and love affairs, and later in life she adopted a son, Basil. Coco’s story is gently revealing of Mandy and Louis and their friends’ lives, as well as being a very affectionate story of the Cross. It’s a treat for anyone who loves dogs and the literary life.
Mandy Sayer is an award-winning novelist and non-fiction writer. Her most recent book, Australian Gypsies: Their Secret History, has just been published by New South Press.
