"Love, don't worry, jump I'll catch you." Nina, standing on the edge of a granite boulder, doesn't worry she jumps ... and crashes to the ground while her husband, arms outstretched, catches the dog. That episode settles it. Every time Nina hears her husband call, Love, she ignores him; she presses the delete button on Love. She finally has to acknowledge the situation. Judy, their dog, has become the love of her husband's life and, as the scrapes and bruises testify, she has to survive with that. But can she live with that, too? Feeling uncomfortably estranged, Nina sets about to save their marriage - to win back her husband's love. She plans a strategy. After all they live in Rome, and when in Rome do as the Romans do: fight the enemy at the flanks. And she fights. But can Nina win, when the battle is waged against a pretty dog? Funny, moving, ironic, and sometimes downright irreverent, the book is accompanied by the engaging illustrations of Roberto Valdimare.
