Synopsis
For fans of Mieko Kawakami’s Breasts and Eggs and Murata Sayaka’s Earthlings, this Japanese bestseller from renowned anime director Makoto Shinkai features four inspirational and heartwarming vignettes following women and their cats in their quests for love and connection. Lying alone on the edge of the sidewalk in an abandoned cardboard box, a nameless narrator contemplates the indifferent world around him. With his mother long gone, his only company is the sound of the nearby train. Just as he fears that the end is near, a young woman peers down at him, this fateful encounter changing their lives forever So begins the first story in She and Her Cat, a collection of four interrelated, stream-of-conscious short stories in which four women and their feline companions explore the frailty of life, the pain of isolation, and the limits of communication. With clever narration alternating between the cats and their owners, She and Her Cat offers a unique and sly commentary on human foibles and our desire for connection. A whimsical short story anthology unlike any other, it effortlessly demonstrates that even in our darkest, most lonesome moments, we are still united to this wonderous world—often in ways we could never have expected.
My Review
This was a great short story. This is a simple but beautiful story about a cat that was rescued. I loved the way this book was wrote from both the owner and the cats point of view. This book I'd brilliant for anyone who is being a reading challenge and needs a book from the animals point of view. It is well wrote and flows really well. I definitely loved the cats as it talks to other animals including a dog and learns just how to be a cat. I actually found it funny when he met a female cat who wanted to be his girlfriend. It is marketed for adults but I think it would be good for 16 plus tand adults too.
This is a perfect short story for all fans of Japanese stories, quick reads fans and cat lovers. This book also held some great culture.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishing team for creating this wonderful book.
