Journal Entry 1 by Georgiejazz from Parkdale, Victoria Australia on Thursday, October 27, 2005
I read this wonderful book while on holidays 2 weeks ago. It is a beautiful story which weaves together the lives of ex Barrister Billy, who drops out of life and becomes a homeless drunk and a 10 year old boy, Ryan who befriends him. The location is Sydney's Kings Cross and the story delves into the problems of child rape and the sad plight of the homeless alcoholic. As Billy starts to develop and narrate the story about Matthew Flinders' Cat to Ryan, a deep bond developes between the two and the healing process and rehabilitation begins for both Billy and Ryan.

This book is on it's way to my daughter in Malta.
