CLEO: The Cat Who Mended a Family
“We’re just going to.” Helen Brown had no intention of adopting a pet when she brought her sons, Sam and Rob, to visit a friend’s new kittens. But the runt of the litter was irresistible, with her overlarge ears and dainty chin. When Cleo was delivered weeks later, she had no way of knowing that
Bittersweet Honesty
Unexpectedly touching
Not just one for cat lovers I loved this book. The author, Helen Brown, is so honest, and her story is both heart-rending and warmly funny. It’s about personal tragedy but it’s also very inspirational. The author really knows cats, and Cleo comes alive in the pages. This book is actually about grief, and I’d recommend it to anyone who has lost a loved one. But the best thing about it is you’ll be laughing as much as crying — the author has a fantastic, dry sense of humour so it’s never melodramatic or gushy. Five stars from me. Just hope she writes a sequel. I want to know what happened next!
