She's convinced the City of Light will recognise her acting talent and transform her life into one of romance and glamour. Dream on, Nellie!

Paris pounds her dreams to a pulp. But Nellie is staying put until that City of Love delivers the goods!

This wonderful new comic novel features Lucia, the cultured cat of Kerry. It tells the story of how she was smuggled from the lush wilds of the Emerald Isle to become London's fluffiest illegal immigrant. To cope with the heartbreak of her sudden exile, 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, betrayal and microwave dinners - not to mention the mad aunts, Olga, the Czech Secret Police and the lost vineyards. You know. The usual!!
