It’s
1943, and Lily Tregenza lives on a farm, in the idyllic seaside
village of Slapton. Her life is scarcely touched by the war until one
day Lily and her family, along with all of the other villagers, are
told to move out of their homes – lock, stock and barrel.
Soon,
the whole area is out of bounds, as the Allied forces practice their
landings for D-day, preparing to invade France. But Tips, Lily’s
adored cat, has other ideas – barbed wire and keep-out signs mean
nothing to her, nor does the danger of guns and bombs. Frantic to
find her, Lily decides to cross the wire into the danger zone to look
for Tips herself…
One can truly say that
there is a very happy ending to this eventful war story. I grew very
fond of the three main characters: Lily, Adie and a wandering-prone
female feline named Tips! This was a novel full of suspense as Lily
tries to evade the soldiers in the fenced off village in order to
find this lovable cat. She must evade the soldiers at time but also
plead them for their gracious help as well. A thoroughly satisfying
tale that covers Lily's lifetime from child to old age. Does she find
happiness through a cat's tale? Well I will let you guess!
