Beschreibung
A beloved Japanese modern classic about our special connection with cats and how they can change our lives over the course of a lifetime. 'Cat lovers, prepare to weep' The Times. 'A cat classic' Catherine Lacey. 'Profoundly real. and beautifully written' Elif Batuman. 'Aglow with incidental joys' Rivka Galchen. Winner of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation Translation Prize 2026. On a cool summer evening in 1977, Mayumi Inaba hears a forlorn cry. She follows the sound to the banks of Tokyo's Tamagawa River and finds a newborn kitten dangling from a fence, abandoned. Overcome by tender affection, she takes the cat back to the small apartment she shares with her husband and christens her Mii: so begins an unshakeable bond. Over the next twenty years, we follow Inaba, a poet and novelist by moonlight, as she pursues quiet solitude and a room of her own. Through it all, Mii, a fiercely independent creature in her own right, is her confidante and muse. This beloved Japanese modern classic is not just a love letter to companionship: it's a poignant, searching meditation on the forces that enable us to connect, to create and to build a life. 'Reveals the profound respect, and compassion, that a friendship with an animal can inspire' Sigrid Nunez, New Yorker. Translated by Ginny Tapley TakemoriReaders ADORE Mii. 'A lovely little gem''Gentle and enchanting and had me in floods by the end''Absolutely beautiful''Sweet and heartbreaking''Told with grace, beauty and love'.
