Book
The dog of the north / Elizabeth McKenzie.
Penny Rush has problems. Her marriage is over; she's quit her job. Her mother and stepfather went missing in the Australian outback five years ago; her mentally unbalanced father provokes her; her grandmother Dr. Pincer keeps experiments in the refrigerator and something worse in the woodshed. But Penny is a virtuoso at what's possible when all else fails. Enter the Dog of the North. The Dog of the North is a borrowed van, replete with yellow gingham curtains, wood paneling, a piñata, and stiff brakes. It is also Penny's getaway car from a failed marriage, a family in crisis, and an uncertain future. This darkly dry comic novel follows Penny as she sets out in the Dog to find a way through the curveballs life has thrown at her and, in doing so, find a way back to herself.
