The Art of Racing in the Rain

by Garth Stein

The story is narrated by Denny's dog Enzo.  It was very creative to see what Denny's and his family's life was like through the eyes of the dog over the years.  Denny has a passion to be a race car driver but is practical and has a mechanic job as well.  He meets and falls in love with Eve and they have a little girl named Zoe.  Denny struggles with family life and his passion for racing.

Challenges abound for Denny when Eve is diagnosed with a brain tumor and is terminally ill.  Enzo brings life and humor to Denny's life, as the dog. 

The book is written lightly and is easy to read.  I am looking forward to our book club's virtual author visit from Garth Stein this month.
