OTHER PEOPLE'S PETS by R.L. Maizes - The National Book Review "5 Hot Books: Mary Trump on her family's 'Dark History,' James Baldwin, and more"

The National Book Review | July 13, 2020

“The family business takes on a new meaning in this deliciously satisfying debut novel by the author of a fine story collection, We Love Anderson Cooper. La La (Louise) is an ‘animal empath’ who connects with four-legged creatures more than humans. She has been raised by her locksmith father, who schools her in the art of home burglaries until he gets caught and she drops out of veterinary school and takes on his legal fees by burgling houses where pets are in trouble and mistreated. In this Robin Hood twist, Maizes tells a fast-paced story with style and keen insights into the mysterious, powerful bonds between animals and people.”
