Dust of 100 dogs is unique and narrated by a teenage girl. Withing this novel you will find three recurring story lines each about the life of the same person taking place within different time periods (reincarnation).
King is talented and weaves a tale that will keep you mesmerized. It is clever, imaginative and absorbing.
I have to admit I was hesitant to read this but it was highly recommend to me by someone I know and I'm glad that I took a chance on a book I would have otherwise ignored.
This is a book you will find yourself recommending to friends, family and strangers because it is original and the characters are captivating.
Grade: A
Synopsis (B&N)
In the late seventeenth century, famed teenage pirate Emer Morrisey was on the cusp of escaping the pirate life with her one true love and unfathomable riches when she was slain and cursed with "the dust of one hundred dogs," dooming her to one hundred lives as a dog before returning to a human body-with her memories intact.
Now she's a contemporary American teenager and all she needs is a shovel and a ride to Jamaica.
