A shocking event shatters the conventional life Mia has carefully crafted in this week’s Book Club novel Cat Lady, and it turns out that beneath the surface there was another woman clawing to get out...
Returning Book Club author Dawn O’Porter joins Richard and Judy to talk about the very specific relationship ‘cat people’ have with their animals. Dawn explains how her relationship with her own beloved cat – who she had freeze dried when she died – inspired the insights in the novel. They all wonder how far our relationships with our pets tell us about what it is to be human.
Plus, Dawn talks about how her husband – actor Chris O’Dowd – indirectly motivated her to write for her core audience rather than for the mainstream.
