Book ID/图书代码： 01930015B80646
English Summary/英文概要： Numerous visitors to Mediterranean countries have found their holiday punctuated by trips to feed hungry feral cats. Some try to save injured and sick felines. Not many have gone to the lengths of Jenny Pulling with her one-woman campaign, Catsnip. Set against the beautiful and sinister backdrop of Sicily and its enigmatic people, the book charts Jenny’s journey as passionate defender of the island’s often abused and ill-treated cats. With no previous experience, she raises funds and, organises teams of British, American and German vets to work in improvised and clandestine surgeries. On Jenny’s voyage of discovery she encounters the wonderfully eccentric gattare (cat ladies) who devote their time to saving colonies of feral cats; she challenges Sicilian bureaucracy and risks prosecution by the authorities, unwittingly transporting veterinary but illegal drugs from the UK; and she discovers an unknown Sicily, beautiful but scarred by years of domination. Lighthearted but often incredibly moving, this is the story of one woman’s mission to rescue an animal she loves, as well as an insight into a unique culture and landscape.
This is the light-hearted yet often moving story of one woman’s mission to rescue an animal she loves, as well as an insight into the unique culture and landscape of Sicily.
Jenny moves to Sicily and encounters the eccentric gattare (cat ladies) who devote their time to saving colonies of feral cats and launches a one-woman campaign, Catsnip, to try and save the struggling feline population.
In the process, she encounters an enigmatic, sinister backdrop to the unique island of Sicily, with a people and culture scarred by years of domination.
This title will appeal to two distinct, popular book markets: travel and pets. Combining the emotional appeal of A Street Cat Named Bob with the charm and escapism of A Year in Provence, this title is a commercial winner.
