Upon reading the synopsis, I wanted to read this. After moving to the rural countryside my husband heard about a cat who needed a home. We already had a cat, and a dog, but there was something about this cat. Her name was Frankie and she had been homeless and was currently living with a 90+ year old who could no longer care for her and the other two cats he had. So considering our own Frankie, I definitely wanted to read about another Frankie.
The book’s Frankie is a very, very wonderful and enjoyable character, and the whole story is utterly heartwarming. I laughed, I cried, I adored Frankie’s musings, and though the book deals with heavy life issues, Frankie’s outlook, and the lightheartedness of the writing shines. I really and truly enjoyed this story.
