A San Francisco c'è un parco incastonato nel cuore della città. Nel parco c'è un giardino, in parte curato, in parte selvaggio, a cui si accede lungo una stradina di mattoni. I frequentatori abituali, la varia, eterogenea, magnifica umanità che lo abita, che va laggiù per respirare, correre, giocare con i propri cani, non lo sanno ancora, ma da quel sentiero, come da un crocevia, si dipanano mille possibilità, mille vite diverse, mille occasioni per cambiare la propria esistenza. E infatti Hillary , operatrice TV alta e magra, illuminata dall'affetto della sua Golden retriever Tess , non direbbe mai che il malinconino e sensuale Philo , lo psichiatra padrone di quell'assurdo corgi , l'abbia mai degnata di uno sguardo; né Anna , vedova mite e ricchissima, proprietaria di Posy , penserebbe mai di vivere una seconda giovinezza con Rayford e il suo rottweiler Romeo ; per non parlare di Frankie , inasprita dalla vita, a cui sta per capitare un'insperata, frizzante meravigliosa occasione d'amore... Solo Tobin , il giardiniere-quasi-professore-ex-hippie, sa tutto e sorveglia con affetto la piccola comunità di cani e padroni, gli uni tanti simili agli altri, pronti a scrivere poesie, a imparare il francese, a cucinare, a coltivare rose, a innamorarsi. Leggero, toccante, divertente, Stessa ora stesso parco ritrae persone in movimento come in una galleria di istantanee , colte nei gesti, nei sorrisi, negli attimi in cui la vita cambia. Sullo sfondo di una delle città più belle del mondo, Marjorie Leet Ford racconta storia quotidiane e originalissime con una prosa brillante e vivace, che rende questo romanzo irresistibile... anche per quelli che non amano i cani.
