Product Description
When Jutta's mother sent her to tiny, windswept Bardhol to stay with their ancient female relations, she hinted slyly that those crafty crones might be hiding a fortune. But all Jutta found was boredom, toil -- and cats, spoiled pets demanding constant attention. Their only neighbors were antiquated, mad, or resting -- permanently -- in the graveyard at the foot of the hill. Jutta's grandmothers warned her away from the graveyard, but the cats went, and Jutta followed. What she found there would change her life forever.

Wonderfully Entertaining
9 April 1997
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Elizabeth Boyer is unique--what other writer explores the lighter side of good, old-fashioned Norse gloom and doom?
In KEEPER OF CATS, a young girl goes to live with her five grandmothers (don't ask!) on their rocky, wind-swept old farm. To Jutta's dismay, just about the only thing her ancient relatives are raising are cats-- scads of the imperious little monsters!
It isn't long before Jutta's fed up with hard work, batty crones, and too many cats. She befriends a wealthy widow who's charting ley lines through the barrows at the foot of the hill. But the widow is really searching for a magic cup--as are the local chieftain, a couple of visitors from another plane--and probably the grandmothers! The barrows get awfully crowded; people t turning up dead--and unless the grandmothers, or their cats, can help, headstrong Jutta might be next!
A good and interesting read

If you like cats
27 Aug 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After reading this book I went and got other books by the same author, and gave up on every one--this may be the only readable book in her somewhat Scandinavian world.
The plot is simple, unlike her other books: the heroine's mom wants to know where her relatives' treasure is and makes her go live with them to find out. The heroine isn't very pleased and hates the cats, but she grows up through the course of the novel and gets her own cat in the bargain. And there is some treasure and romance..
