I read this book because it was free on Amazon but, having done so, I would quite cheerfully spend good money for the pleasure of reading it anyway. This engaging tale of the relationship between Aric, (a Stone Age boy), and the mysterious Anjelica, (a cat with a difference), draws the reader in immediately. There are not very many books which can persuade me to postpone preparing a meal, until after I have finished reading them. My lunch was late today. I don't care because I have just indulged in two of my greatest pleasures I.E reading a great story and having my heart warmed, by this description of the loving relationship between a child and a cat.It's not just a fuzzy "purrfest". The reality of life, during the great ice age, is not shied from either. The difficulties and hardships, that struggling humanity must have suffered from in that far-off time, is vividly described. We also learn, that the jealousies and nastiness that can befoul our species, were not strangers to our primitive ancestors.I won't say too much more about this delightful and touching story. I don't want to spoil the experience for the fortunate readers who come after me. I will just say that I highly recommend this book and I look forward to reading any more volumes, that this very talented writer may produce.
