Description: Siamese cats rule in the House of Bast and live in a world where mankind no longer exists. They worship the Egyptian goddess Bast and live peacefully and happily in the world that She has created for them. Ruled by females, all is well until good Queen Salome dies and Belvedere, her daughter is about to become queen. Belvedere is not quite the same as other cats. Intent on ridding herself of her younger sister, Alice, who she sees as a rival, she soon finds friends among some of the other more lowly cat breeds and sets about an execution that does not quite go to plan. Before long the House of Bast is in turmoil and only Ka, Princess of the Foreign Black clan, can save Alice and her beloved son Pangur Ban. She must call down the power of the goddess and seek the help of Cailleach Bheurr, Queen of the Ferals, if peace is to be restored. This huge, sweeping and panoramic novel, using the cat species as its anthropomorphic vehicle, is a metaphorical attempt to study good and evil in general, and the power of sexuality in particular. Feminism and feminity pervade the multi-faceted world that the author has created. Full of allegory, blending mythologies and developing them in time-honoured and classical tradition, this is not a book for the faint-hearted, but will reward committed readers with many a tear and a smile.
