THREE HEARTS
Upon his arrival in London for his annual
visit a businessman makes the acquaintance of James, a cat. But James is no ordinary cat. He is, in a word, a connoisseur. Well that would be James in a word. To know the real James you will soon learn he
is much, much more.
James is intelligent, street savvy and
just plain good company. He prefers top
drawer beverages and enjoys a meal of pate and other delicacies. With a look he is able to let our businessman
know just what he would be most interested in.
More than just interested in the finer things in life, James is able to
discern a fake piece of art from the real deal.
And when they visit a country estate for the Christmas holidays he has
the knack of bringing the entire village together. At times James seems almost human—but definitely
do not tell him that! He is rather proud
of the fact that he is a cat and, as such, believes himself a higher being.
When I first picked up JAMES THE CONNOISSEUR CAT by Harriett
Hahn I was anticipating a slightly different read from the one I had. I anticipated a story about a cat who enjoyed
the finer things that cats are known to enjoy.
As a cat lover and mommy I was, at first, appalled by James drinking
adult beverages and dining on foods that would make my own furbabies ill. But then I took a step back and went with the
fantasy that Hahn creates. At times it
reminded me of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and at others the alternate
worlds of Terry Brooks yet with Hahn’s own unique voice. James is a wonderful combination of the cats
we know in our families and a marvellous fictional feline detective. If you are looking for a quick, fun read JAMES THE CONOISSUER CAT is an
excellent choice.
This is an objective review and an endorsement of this
book.
