Book Review of Love Saves the Day: A Novel

Love Saves the Day: A Novel
reviewed on + 20 more book reviews


I was profoundly moved when I read "The Odyssey of Homer" - Cooper's memoir about her beloved blind cat - so I was fearful that I would be less favorably impressed by a venture into fiction. "Love Saves the Day" is a truly beautiful story. Cooper permits the central character, Prudence the Cat, to have a "voice." Clearly, Cooper has a great understanding of and sensitivity for cats. As I read Prudence's "words," I was, at times, moved to tears by my heightened understanding of what our wonderful feline family members may be thinking. I recommend this book without reservation. I hope there may be another such book from Cooper in the future.
