This book was not what I expected but exactly what I needed. The story starts off with the death of a very sweet kitty (which based on the title is not a spoiler!). Throughout the story there are glimpses of time passing through generations which was very fun and felt well researched. While the story has some heavy moments there were also moments of joy and love and levity.

This is just far too boring and I’m not getting invested at nearly a quarter of the way in.

A bit slow in the middle but loved all the references to Edinburgh and the time period that felt naturally included, not forced
For a short book, it sure took me a long time to read. I just couldn't get into it. The premise was great, but it left me rather ambivalent. While some of the footnotes were interesting, they came across as a little condescending, the author's way of showing off their research while seemingly assuming you would have no clue without them.
