Since times immemorial, cats have occupied a special place in people's imagination, lives, mythology, and religion. In Ancient Egypt, all cats were worshipped cats as deities, big cats have been perceived as symbols or power, victory, predator status, and even male power (like lions). Domestic cats have been symbolic of home, protection, fertility, and motherhood. The magic of the human-cat connection is further explored in "Angel Bones" by Linda Deane.This book, the second in the Angel Cat series, continues with the theme of cats as companions with supernatural powers. The story follows Yannis, Melita, and their three children, in their plight from persecution to the sanctuary of an island. The Cat Family, as they came to be known because of their ability to attract wild cats, acquires a pregnant cat as a companion. And that's just the beginning of their adventures.Beautiful writing, interesting characters, a tight plot, and an excellent background note, informative and engaging. Well-worth your time and attention.
