Flush

In this captivating narrative, readers are transported into the intriguing world of a cocker spaniel who finds himself amidst the lives of the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her husband. From the tranquil countryside to the bustling streets of Victorian London, the spaniel, Flush, becomes an inseparable companion to Elizabeth, witnessing her poetic musings and the unconventional courtship between Elizabeth and her husband. Published in 1933, this biographical novel by Virginia Woolf weaves together history and fiction. Seen through the eyes of a dog human behaviour becomes both clearer and more absurd, exploring conventions and the unnaturalness of city-living.
