Lucia MacNamara pines for the family and loved ones she was forced to leave behind in Co. Kerry. She swears she will go back one day. The only problem is: Lucia is a cat.
Lucia, the cultured kitty of Kerry, is torn from her rural idyll of lazy days and nights of poetry and story telling beneath the stars to become London’s fluffiest illegal immigrant. Smuggled via ferry and rucksack by her new owners’ children, this is the story of how Lucia the muse of Kerry, becomes Lucia, the latch key Wimbledon wanderer. Hooking up with London’s other lost feline souls she recounts their urban adventures along with her own. To cope with her ex-pat pain, Lucia starts a journal documenting the tangled lives of her new owners’ stress-fuelled urban lifestyles and their attempts to deal with the daily round of love, loss, comedy,betrayal and … microwave dinners. Not to mention the mad Irish aunts, Olga the designer spy, Bruiser the alcoholic pub cat, Amy the loony BBC arts producer, the Czech Secret Police and the lost vineyards. You know. The usual!!
