A gripping tale of Nature and Man (4 1/2 stars)

R. D. Lawrence writes a superbe tale of a rare and wonderous animal, a white puma. The novel follows the cat's life from his mother's coming to maturity to his adulthood. Running concurrently to this storyline is the story of a pair of hunting guides and their activities as guides, hunters and poachers. Being a naturalist, the author provides a startlingly accurate picture of the actions of all characters and the mountain valleys they live in. This tale provides a window into the behaviour of both pumas and people in a way few stories can. A must-read for all feline furries as well.
