<p><b>An unforgettable memoir about a life of adventure in the great outdoors and the power of a dog's transformative love</b><br><br>'Cédric Sapin-Defour's celebration of the life of Ubac has made him a literary sensation' <i><b>Sunday Times</b></i><br><br>'A tribute to the love humans feel for their pets' <b><i>Guardian</i></b><br><br>A tiny ad in a local newspaper catches Cédric Sapin-Defour's eye: a litter of Bernese Mountain Dog puppies need homes. A lonely, single, sports teacher and mountain climber in the French Alps, Cédric visits the dogs and immediately falls for the puppy with a blue collar.<br><br>Named Ubac, French for the north side of the mountain - the rainy, cloudy slope - the puppy quickly upends Cédric's life. They go on hikes together, taking to the hills and exploring, forging a bond that brings joy and a sense of fulfilment and adventure. They brave the world together, hate to be apart, crave the mountains and the natural world; they protect each other.<br><br>Over the course of thirteen years, their pack expands to include Mathilde, Cédric's wife, and more dogs. <i>Ubac and Me</i> is an intimate meditation on a joyous life lived too fast, the aching pain of separation, and the transformative effect of unconditional love.<br><br><b><i>Ubac and Me</i> has been a word-of-mouth sensation, selling over half a million copies in France.<br><br>Translated by Adriana Hunter.</b></p>
