I picked this book up not knowing what to expect (I like animals but can't say I'm an animal junkie) and was very (very!) pleasantly surprised. An autobiographical account of the author's first encounters with animals and her desire to work with them as a vet, her struggle to overcome obstacles (not least the social ones of the time, but also financial and emotional ones) and her experiences - all recounted in a candid, fresh voice and with a fast pace that had me turning the pages all the way to the wee hours of the morning. Highly recommended - this is a deep and yet funny and sometimes very moving read.I look forward to part 2.
