Do not read this novel at night, alone, or in the company of a cat. But read it. Milla is a young cat therapist, and various cat-loving eccentrics people this story. If asked to choose between hunman and feline company there is little doubt as to Mina's preference. Nevertheless she does allow amorous Josh to move into her flat and domestic bliss prevails until a chance meeting with the stray cat Purrl (an albino of some presence and one time 'patieny' of Milla's) drives the plot to it's inexorable anf horrific end. Allan has both a powerful voice and a quirky imagination; her beautifully written, sensuous, erotically-charged prose, skilled plotting and carefully calculated pace all combine to make Stray a thrilling page-turner. (Kirkus UK)
What would you do if you had to choose between your man and your cat? 'If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be?' Milla asks her bestfriend Gabriel. Milla would be a cat and Gabriel a bird. That's no surprise, as Milla is a cat therapist. Gabriel is also in love with her. Unaware of this, Milla begins an affair with Josh, a dentist. All goes well until Milla adopts a stray cat, a spooky albino who starts to drive a wedge between her and Josh. When Milla finds she must choose between her man and her cat, the choice she makes has horrifying consequences. For the stray is no ordinary domestic pet, and Milla, it turns out, is no ordinary woman. Inexorably the disturbed workings of Milla's mind draws her into a strange world. Girl-meets-boy domesticity is replaced by the cold drip of animal fear. The unbelievable becomes reality. And the shocking, horrifying conclusion is the only escape.
