Humorous and heartwarming, this moving narrative tells the tale of Olivia, a successful wife and career woman whose world is brightened and mind is enlightened by cats. Dismissing the predictions of an unsolicited tarot-card reading as nonsense, Olivia recalls the readings two years later, when the first of the prophesized procession of cats invades her life. Other changes follow some of them traumatic and in her midforties she gives up her high-paying job and her London house for a cottage in the idyllic setting of her native Lake District. Weaving together autobiography and fiction, this entertaining and affecting account is sure to strike a chord with all cat lovers.
