The Year of the Cat: A Love Story by Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett

2.5

Perhaps not really for me, I felt this dragged a bit and retread ground already covered over and over again. The author seems very committed linking the 'crazy cat women' moniker to larger topics of feminism and historical misogyny, but it all seems rather trite and overwritten to me, placed throughout the book as a sort of bigger picture kind of thing.

The other part of the book, and ostenible reason for its existence, is the debate the author is having about whether to have a child. Obviously a deeply personal issue, this doesn't really connect for me at all, and I can't relate to it.

Just not a book for me overall!
