Review
The story begins at 7 A.M. on Christmas Eve Eve in a seedy part of Philadelphia. There is quite a cast of quirky characters, not the least of which is Madeleine, a smart-mouthed, rebellious nine-year-old whose mother has died, and her father is absent with grief. Madeleine loves to sing, and she hears of a jazz club called The Cat's Pajamas that she wants to go to. Time progresses in increments, as the cast of characters are introduced, until it is 2 A.M. at The Cat's Pajamas. There were parts of this story I really liked, but then other parts I felt lost on. Overall, it was a fun read, if a little bit off-beat.
