Christmas at the Cat Café by Melissa Daley

Wonderful, beautiful, captivating; a story like this one is a little-big Christmas's masterpiece; it is enchanting.
Amazing.
Christmas at the Cat Café  by Melissa Daley is technically perfect, written divinely, the best Christmas's story that you want to read if you love animals and if you fall in love for cats; fresh, also abstracting this story from Christmas, it would be fantastic. It is clear, descriptive, intelligent, human, real.
And what a narrator...

The narrator, the voice of this book the one of Molly the cat of Debbie, the owner in an enchanting Cotswold's town of a Cat Café where Molly plays without difficulty the role of the Queen.

A little colony the one created by Debbie, composed by seven cats. At first it was Molly, later the arrival of Jasper the "guy" of the situation, a stray adorable cat and father of her five kittens.
In the family? There is perfect harmony. Debbie has a precise routine, she adores all these cats, she is comfy with her life and happy for the result reached.
She has a daughter, Sophie and a boyfriend, various friends. Nothing is more enchantingly perfect than the moment she is living in.

Nothing: 'til at the arrival of Linda. Her sister.

Oh: Linda...Undoubtedly the opposite of Debbie. While Debbie doesn't mind about her body, she is tranquil with every thing she wears, Linda living in another environment is simply more chic and researched.
She heavily discussed with her husband and without any idea of returning home too soon but keeping alive the purpose of using massively his credit card, decides of changing air.
She asks for a place where to staying at her sister. Debbie knows Linda. She is nice, but you know...Just different. She accepts with enthusiasm of giving her a sofa bed where to sleep in, hoping that the situation will be sorted out soon between Linda and David.

What a joy staying at Debbie's house. When Linda returns with various luggage Molly notices him: who the hell is that one?
Beau. Sophisticated, trendy name for an adorable dog who of course will live incredibly funny adventures with all Debbie's cats. Peace is gone...

But not only: when Debbie understands that maybe the sister doesn't have any rush to make peace with the husband, she will ask her of working in the café; Linda is great but after a while as she does with food, her quinoa recipes are memorable, her expensive clothes or accessories unforgettable, she introduces another pet in the café: someone more trendy and appropriate according to her point of view than Molly. The new arrival will be seen and lived with great suspect.

The story of the meeting between Debbie and Molly is enchanting. Molly was the cat of Margery. When Margery's memory became frail, once old, Debbie adopted her, staying in contact with Margery. Margery will surprise Molly and Debbie, you will see and Linda will try to convince the sister of bettering the existence of everyone although at first Debbie doesn't know what to do.

I will stop here because I want to invite you to go to your local bookstore, or online for buying this book on October 19 when it will be released.

It's beautiful, you will see, and you can tell: that reviewer was right.

Highly recommended.
