Reviews

A gift of a book. A celebration of the animal world and life’s simple pleasures. Laura Agustí tugs on the thread of memory and love for nature and draws us into her exceptional view of the world around her. A story full of sensitivity that begins in a small town in Teruel in the 1980s, in a rural atmosphere reminiscent of Gerald Durrell’s My Family and Other Animals, and evolves into a touching bond with her cat Oye. With the aesthetics of an old book, this magnificent artist presents her unmistakable delicate linework in a delightful and moving piece, filled with countless details, anecdotes, and tips about the feline world that will thrill any cat lover.
