The story of a drunk, a boy, and a cat. Billy O'Shannessy, once a prominent barrister, is now on the street where he sleeps on a bench outside the State Library. Above him on the window sill rests a bronze statue of Matthew Flinders' cat, Trim. Ryan is a 10-year-old, a near-street kid heading for the usual trouble. The two form an unlikely bond. Through telling Ryan the story of Flinders' circumnavigation of Australia as seen through Trim's eyes, Billy is drawn deeply into Ryan's life and into the Sydney underworld.©2013 Christine Courtenay (P)2014 Publishing Pty.

this story calls to me such a brilliant historical novel. I love all of Bryce Courtenays books. A very touching story I read the book years ago and enjoyed the audio book just as much. Absolutely wonderful.

A top favorite book of all time

The story tells of how a drunkard and an 11-year-old boy met in Sydney, and how the story of Trim, Matthew Flinder’s cat drew them together. Well-researched - not just the tales of Trim but also about drink addicts and other darker forces in society.

The spirit of Trim the Cat lives in the fight against dark forces in society

This story was very well researched and it is narrated beautifully. Although there are some episodes of violence, They are nowhere near as graphic as some of his other books.

My favourite so far
