The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst. It debuted in 2003, ISBN 0316168688, and the story's unusual enough to make me want to read it again.
In a nutshell, linguistics professor Paul Iverson comes home to find his wife Lexi dead after she fell from an apple tree. The death's officially ruled an accident, but Paul knows his wife's dog saw more than he can tell. So Paul undertakes to teach the dog to speak, and -- you'd think this story's part farce, but no -- while he tries to, the novel flashes back to his and Lexi's first date (which lasts TWO WEEKS, see the book) and their marriage up to the day of her death.
In the present, Paul gets involved with seemingly fruitless experiment as well as animal abusers who've attempted to surgically get dogs to speak and apparently succeeded with one. Paul's quest to find out how Lexi really died ends on a down note but then swings back to normality.
I read this when I was on vacation last month, and it's funny and touching. Well worth your quality time. Have a great day!

There's a really good series of books (7 last count) written by Philippa Wiat, I think they're called the Black Raven stories - all about ancient Brits and the mystical age - very addictive.
