From: The Farnham Herald, November 2008
Written by: Sue Cansfield |
| Val Harris who lives in Dippenhall just outside Farnham has publisher her second book, The Siren, and, although featuring another intelligent feline, it is a far cry from her first novel, Whisky 'n' Ginger. |
| Inspired by her own cat, Whisky 'n' Ginger is an intriguing tale about a middle-aged man immersed in his own self-obsessed gloom and guilt, and Aston, a remarkably verbose ginger cat whose mission is to get him back on track. |
| But don't anyone think life with Aston is easy. The cat is a bit of a chancer with pretensions to stardom which regularly lands his owner in trouble with both the law and other beings who impinge on his sad alcohol and nicotine fuelled existence. |
| However, finding homes for Aston's offspring brings him in to contact with a loving family who with further somewhat traumatic events show him life is worth living. |
This charming book, loaded with both pathos and humour, isn't just a captivating read for cat lovers, it is also a tonic for those who love a bit of nonsense. |
