The Demon Cat of Calle del Rio - Gothic Home Decor, Unique Halloween Figurine, Spooky Collectible for Horror Fans & Haunted House Theme

Don't you LOVE a book that sweeps you away to the actual time and place so that you forget that you are a reader? I just finished The Demon Cat of Calle del Rio and felt like I'd arrived back home after a trip to the Alpujarra region of Andalucía. The characters are lovingly drawn, warts and all. The descriptions are so vivid that I could see the olive trees, smell the flowers and hay, sit in the small river cooling off in the summer and be swept backwards by the heat of the fiesta bonfire. I laughed out loud, smiled through the whole thing and finished with a lump in my throat. While being a totally entertaining, can't-put-it-down treat, it is also an insightful story of emotional, personal and cultural growth. This charming book has universal appeal, but would especially be a joy to lovers of travel, expatriates and anyone who has struggled to communicate in a second language.
