This book offers you a heart-warming story of two widowed retirees, hope, and a dog named Zelda.
With "Fancy That", Cara Ward has created a beautiful and unforgettable short story. Tom narrates the story, drawing you right in. I read this story in one go, certain that it would not be the last time. Cara Ward created this well-elaborated story that is entertaining and offers food for thought at the same time. It is a highly enjoyable read with authentic characters, interesting turns, and a great flow. A memorable book to read again, written by an excellent story-teller.
This is a book for you if you like intriguing contemporary fiction, believable characters, food for thought, and if you appreciate expertly elaborated stories.
Highly recommended!

Makes me want a dog
This a beautiful and heartwarming tale of simple folk, quiet lives and the importance of community, friendship and animal companions. Whispers of The Littlest Hobo, a dog who just visited to help people through a challenge. I want to read more.

Fancy That - A Christmas Story
I have to say I loved it...really heartwarming, sad at the end but with a sprinkle of hope and joy. I was gutted the story didn’t go on for longer but this was a really warm story all the same. You have a very nice style - easy to read and I was drawn into Tom, Pat and Zelda’s world...
