Waiting for Gertrude is by Bill Richardson. This charmingly funny little fantasy novella is for cat lovers everywhere - and anyone in need of a good chuckle. In Paris' famous cemetery Pere Lachaise, famous "residents" are being reborn as cats. Everyone from Oscar Wilde to Chopin to Alice B. Toklas has returned in feline form. Alice has been waiting for her lover Gertrude Stein for a long time and decides to take matters into her own hands - EH paws - and highjinxs ensue. There is definitely some mature content in this novella, but it is funny and charming nonetheless.
Ratings: 11th grade - 9 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (some mature thematic content).
