Hurrah! *by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2014* Now here is proof that good book jackets sell books. I doubt I would have discovered Lucy Dillon if there hadn't been a picture of a greyhound looking directly at me from A Hundred Pieces of Me, begging as only sighthounds can do, talking you into early dinner or another walk or just some time for fusses and kisses. (I have 4 Italian greyhounds, who have perfected this technique to the point where they once talked a pet-minder to feed them at 3 AM.) I was sick in bed, bored silly, and I ordered this book to pass the time. My husband took one look at it and said, "Why did you buy that book? The dog's going to die and then you'll start crying." He has a point. I'm a sucker for dog stories. I also write, and teach in the MFA low-residency program in Anchorage, Alaska, and in workshops when a dog appeared in a story, I wanted to throw the story out the window. The reason was that mention of a dog unfortunately inevitably led to a "symbolic" death in student stories. Just for once, I'd harangue my students, I'd like the dog not to die. I'd like the dog to do something else, contribute to the story in another way. That's what A Hundred Pieces of Me did. I was sick in bed for a couple weeks, so I ordered all Ms. Dillon's other books, delighted to see that dogs are a thread in all her books, that her female characters solved their own problems, that work and the future and the importance of objects are pondered by women who pick themselves up and dust themselves off, that the male characters are people, too, not romantic Band-aids. A Hundred Pieces of Me is as bittersweet a story as they come. The narrator Gina has real issues, such as making a life post-divorce, deciding what to keep and what to let go of, and how to continue work on a historic house she once dreamed of living in, restoring to its glory. Gina, a breast cancer survivor, hasn't had an easy life, and this book does not make it easier. Its up-in-the-air ending was like viewing a perfect snapshot of a good life. I found it hard to let go of this story. Fortunately, Ms. Dillon does a wonderful thing in her other books, which means a narrator from another book has a different place in other stories. I suppose I write that way myself, but all I cared about reading these books was to watch what happens. The choices the character makes were as realistic as talking to a dear friend. I discovered that Lucy Dillon's world is my kind of world. I will pre-order, snatch up as soon as they arrive, and recommend to readers and writers alike, these books. And P.S., not only does the dog live, but the dog becomes a part of the narrator's heart and family. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely read! *by G***5 on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2017* I enjoyed reading this book very much, although I am closer to Gina's mother's age, so I understood some of her issues. I totally bonded with Buzz, as I have a Spanish greyhound (called a galgo) and they have such distinct characters. A lot of emotion and pain here, but also joy and love--along with endings and beginnings--a totally encompassing tale. Great dialogue between the friends and a bit of humour to lighten things up. Extremely talented writer; I will definitely read more of her books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great reintroduction of the character Rachel from the first book *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2014* Another who rescued who from Lucy Dillion. Great reintroduction of the character Rachel from the first book. Enjoy that all of Dillions characters are fully developed and each speaks in their own voice. Divorce and restarting your life can be a tough subject empowering super woman or sympathetic sad sack woe is me. Im so pleased that the main charecter doesn't fall into either of these traps and shows a life and a true life lived. Thank you again Lucy Dillion for showing real women with our faults and fears and loves and our Iove of our friends imperfect in their perfection. And of course the dogs who love us back to being normal. Im patiently waiting for her next book... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/8576028-a-hundred-pieces-of-me-paperback-september-2-2014](https://www.desertcart.us/products/8576028-a-hundred-pieces-of-me-paperback-september-2-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
