What makes a good memoir great is the author's ability to be vulnerable, usually with a healthy dose of self-deprecating humor... The book's packaging does an excellent job of portraying the mix of emotion and wit in the story... Animal lovers, memoir fans and those who enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the life of an actor will especially enjoy this book.

ForeWord Clarion Review

​

Many people can and will identify with the heartaches and responsibilities of bringing some wretched creature into their home (that's husbands I'm talking about). 

Roger Hall, playwright

​

Throughout Camillo's wry, self-deprecating humor maintains a light tone... Camillo's descriptions of the Italian landscape and the quirks of her family and friends and neighbours help develop a strong sense  of place... amusing memoir. 

Kirkus Indie Review

 

A good mix of humour and pathos.

Malcolm Welshman, author
