Fiona's getting married. Why? Don't ask her. If you know what's good for you. The balance of your sanity may hang on your decision. She's completely over-the-top in her reasoning and conclusions. I love Fiona. She everything everybody is at times, even though we hope we will never be. Irrational, scared, nave and then, there is the Cat! The cat could not be more Human if he'd had a real voice.This book was beautifully constructed. The humor and human interaction between the characters was so flawless, that it left me feeling I had actually met them, and found myself saying, "Oh snap out of it, Fi!" The comedic timing was spot on to the point that it left me with aching sides from laughing out loud. Brilliant descriptions of places and situations that you don't usually see in short novels. I found that once I picked Fiona's story up, I couldn't wait to hear what she'd say next. I ended up not putting the book down even through my meal, which I do not often do. Definitely worth a re-read.I closed the last page feeling refreshed and in a very good mood. It was a magical and musical Story. Ms. Ormiston-Smith goes Artisan and excels at the narrative!
