Epp Petrone found kittens in the attic, just as she wrote in her book

Writer Epp Petrone shares a striking coincidence: life imitated art when she discovered kittens in the attic, exactly as she had previously written in her book. Petrone decided to make the story public primarily for her children.

Writer Epp Petrone is known for her warm and personal storytelling style, but this time she has something special to share—a story where reality unexpectedly intertwined with her own creation.

Petrone reveals that she found kittens in the attic at precisely the moment when she had already described this same event in her book. The coincidence gave her pause: was it even worth making public this real story that lay hidden behind her fantasy novel?

One of the book's characters is a cat named Minister Nestor, and the true story holds its own secret behind that name. Petrone deliberated at length whether to leave only the literary version in history-the one infused with plenty of fantastical flavour.

In the end, she decided to commit the truth to writing, primarily for her children. "My children would certainly enjoy it if I also wrote down the real story for you," Petrone explained her decision. Thus a personal family memory became more important than a mysterious literary legend.
