Others, like Alice Maddicott, travel in search of a particular scene, feeling or atmosphere, often inspired by music, literature and art.</p><p style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;">Taking us deep into our emotional and creative responses to place, this extraordinary book explores the author’s relentless travelling, from the heat of Sicily to the mountains of Japan. With her uniquely lyrical approach to psycho-geography, Maddicott explores the relationship with landscape that is the very essence of human creativity.</p><p style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;"><br></p><p style="text-align: left;" data-mce-style="text-align: left;">From seventeenth-century salons of Paris to the underground culture and crumbling balconies of modern Tbilisi, through writers as diverse as Italo Calvino and L.

138<h4 style="text-align: left;"><br>Late one summer Alice Maddicott was adopted by a beautiful old tabby cat called Dylan and together they shared six years of loving friendship.</h4>
139<p style="text-align: left;"><br>Alice collected second-hand photos – orphan images – and in her sadness after Dylan’s death, she pored over old photographs of women and their cats. Cats in gardens, cats on laps, cats in alleys and on steps, accompanied by women who were diffident and affectionate, fierce and whimsical, young and old.</p>
140<p style="text-align: left;">What did these cats mean to these women who cared for them? Why have cat-owning women always been viewed with suspicion? And where did the Crazy Cat Lady stereotype come from when other cultures revere rather than fear this relationship. Feminist, literary and tender,<em> Cat Women</em> is a beautiful hymn to the feline and the female, the wild natures and domestic affections of this most beguiling of creatures and the women who love them.</p>
