A WOMAN ALWAYS LANDS ON HER FEET

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

Get ready for Cat Lady, the brilliantly bold and joyful new novel from Dawn O’Porter

‘Even speaking as a dog man, I thought Cat Lady was an absolute joy to read’ MATT HAIG

CAT LADY [n.]
Single, independent, crazy, aloof, on-the-shelf, lives alone . . .

It’s safer for Mia to play the part that people expect. She’s a good wife to her husband Tristan, a doting stepmother, she slips on her suit for work each morning like a new skin.

But beneath the surface, there’s another woman just clawing to get out . . .

When a shocking event shatters the conventional life she’s been so careful to build, Mia is faced with a choice. Does she live for a society that’s all too quick to judge, or does she live for herself?

And if that’s as an independent woman with a cat, then the world better get ready . . .

Fresh, funny and for anyone who’s ever felt astray, Cat Lady will help you belong – because a woman always lands on her feet.
