About Confessions of an English Catburglar
some explanation is in order...
When Malloy Montague Montgomery, a tragically incompetent social sciences student and heiress to the Montgomery family, is drugged, kidnapped and brought to her fourth quintennial family reunion by her despairing parents, she decides that enough is enough. In a doomed attempt to exact vague revenge upon and force some respect out of her browbeating family, she only manages to accidentally earn the undying and persistently clingy loyalty of her 12 year-old lunatic cousin Le Marquis de Boboise, and is forced to pursue a criminal career under the command of her arch-nemesis Sebastian MacFarlane, heir to the rival MacFarlane family. Malloy’s disorganized attempts to regain some control over her life cause her to reassess her views and her original motives. The Marquis is definitely on a quest for riches, fame and love, but Malloy’s aims, especially the object of her revenge, continue to elude her as she becomes increasingly entangled with her family and the odd rivalry that exists between Sebastian and herself. One thing is clear though, and it is in this shared knowledge that Sebastian and Malloy both take morbid comfort: Neither heir will emerge unscathed.
About the Author
Jennifer Todd, also known as Jack Featherstonehaugh, roamed the streets and karaoke bars of Kyoto accompanied by her trusty cajon Wilfred, but is now somewhat anticlimactically confined to a small village in the Netherlands, awaiting Wilfred’s arrival by sea so that she may set out again on new adventures. Jennifer sings songs from Takarazuka musicals in a tenor voice, drives a fork-lift truck and draws comics when not too busy loafing around. She can also build large elevated terraces. Jack, however, is a real man. Although he has been told he’s a bit curvy for a boy.
