Synopsis

Lucy O' Rourke, is a photographer whose work takes her around the world. She is smart, funny, competent and loveable - but she does make some very bad decisions...We know all about these, and we root for Lucy as her peripatetic life takes her on the most dangerous of rivers, into the eye of the hurricane, and through some romantic and some less than romantic encounters with men. Prepare to laugh and hold your breath and join Lucy O' Rourke on her way to the 'right life'. Her first book made us weak with pleasure and recognition. WALTZING THE CAT is set to do the same as Lucy searches for a place in the world that feels like home (Mr Right an optional extra).

Media Reviews
'Bold, energetic and exhilarating ... a stunning, stunning writer. Her feel for landscapes both actual and metaphorical is so accurate and so acute that you feel you could reach out and touch every part of her stories' THE TIMES 'Beautifully written. There are few writers who so startlingly and convincingly bring the American landscape roaring off the page ... an exhilarating, moving and often very funny book' SUNDAY TIMES 'Funny, sad, compassionate and true as secrets whispered between friends at night' AMY BLOOM 'Believe me, the story WALTZING THE CAT sticks to your ribs like fried eggs and cream: it's fat with meaning and tastes oh so sinfully good' WASHINGTON POST
