A review by powisamy
Lost Cat by Mary Gaitskill

RTC

Nothing shocked me more than this book.

I picked this up because I am a sucker for anything with a cat on the cover but this one was so much more than a cat on the cover.

While the focus of this book does refer to Mary Gaitskill losing a cat that she adopted from Italy, it is a book about loss and love and everything in between.

On some levels, it is so hard to depict why I did love this book but I think that at the time that I read it is was probably what I needed. It is a very personal and well-written book that I think everyone will get something from it.

Also, this proves to me that my reading taste is a little bit more diverse than I thought it could be and never to judge a book by its cover.
