Review by Osmund Donnelly
This is a lovely book, especially if you're a cat person. The descriptions of all the places in Japan makes me want to visit them. While the cat's character is a major part of the story, the real story is about the importance of all the connections we make in our life.
Although just a warning, the end might make you cry. It made me ugly cry. Don't worry, nothing bad happens to the cat in this book, but it does get sad and then kind of hopeful in that all pain passes sort of way.
