£10.00
The book
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein is a heartfelt and uplifting novel told from the perspective of Enzo, a wise and observant dog who believes he will be reincarnated as a human. As he reflects on the life of his owner, aspiring race car driver Denny Swift, Enzo offers moving insights into love, loss, resilience, and the importance of staying steady through life’s sharp turns. Both tender and philosophical, the novel explores loyalty, family, and the quiet strength found in enduring hardship.
The film
The 2019 film adaptation brings Enzo’s story to the screen with warmth and emotional depth, combining family drama with the thrill of motorsport. Anchored by heartfelt performances and Kevin Costner’s voice work as Enzo, the film captures the novel’s themes of perseverance, perspective, and unconditional love. It’s a moving story about navigating life’s challenges — on and off the track — with courage and heart.
