Reviews
On Jun 21 2022, a reader said:
In the disclaimer, the book calls itself a work of fiction. "Names, characters, places, and incidents are the products of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events, locales, or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental."
Well that is one huge coincidence, because I see great resemblance to current events. Around the story of the father and son, the book is a frighteningly accurate portrayal of the crumbling nature of society today, of the fragility of democracy, and of the short sightedness of the behaviour of humanity, ultimately destructive of not only our species but also uncountable species who share our world.
Though sometimes almost too realistic and sadly doom-filled, the story contains a shining thread of beauty, or hope; a beauty which, like life, is made only more breathtaking by the brevity of its existence.

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
