Poignant, comic, with a sprinkling of romance and philosophical sparring, Wesley's quest shows a family man slammed against a conflict between ego and love. He must consider the welfare of all those he fancies in his care: his half-Asian wife, his adult daughter and sons, and twenty-two cats, more or less. Meanwhile his wife has a quest of her own, and the family redefines itself. Some readers may conclude that his collection of cats represents cultural diversity, and some insist on other meanings, yet all can enjoy their mischief. 'Chang' for instance, shows criminal tendencies . . . .
