I want to talk about a book that I've read last month. This book is called 'Il rifugio dei cuori solitari', by Lucy Dillon, an english writer who loves to walk her basset hound in the most beautiful gardens in London. Actually this book talks about a lovely story between a business woman (who cares only of her work and her lover) and a dog who lost his owner died of old age.
This is the best book about the animals that I've ever read. It's an exciting story that will warm your heart. It explains the importance of relationships in our life, independently if your friend is a girl, a boy or an animal; it shows how we humans usually take little things in a lightly way even if they are important to other people.
There are no words that can describe this book in all its beauty. I just would highly recommend to read it, because all of you could learn different teachings from it.
Have an enjoying reading as I had.

ReplyDeleteA couple of points:
- that I've read last month. [I've ready ready recently would be ok but .. since you gave a precise time ref .. you need to use past simple]
- an english writer [ English - capital letters are important for exam purposes]
- who cares only of her work and her lover [only cares about ..]
- dog who lost his owner died of old age. [..not sure what you mean .. did the dog die or the owner? ]
to read it - reading it or you read it
ReplyDeletehave an enjoyable read
thanks Kay
ReplyDeleteSome really excellent control of tense here & the whole text is set out very appropriately for a review.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few little suggestions I would make. For example you say "talks about a lovely story" whereas I think "tells a lovely story" would read better.
"the animals" would be some specific animals. Here it just wants to be "animals" i.e. in general.
Instead of "independently of..." I would put "regardless of whether your friend...."
"all of you" would imply that you are talking to a specific group of people so "everyone could learn something from it" would probably be better.
In the last line you need the adjective "enjoyable" rather than "enjoying" but possibly something like "I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did" might work even better.
Altogether a lovely review with some lovely language control.
Thank you :)
