Oh, my heart. What a lovely book about a story that is equally heartwarming and heartbreaking, about a bond between a human and a cat. Had me in tears.

A sweet and absolutely lovely journey through soft-edged adventures, friendships and connection, and memories, told largely from an excellently-done and clever feline perspective. The devotion shared by Nana and Satoru (and to some extent, all the people Satoru knew and had so many memories with) is presented with a beautifully understated yet strongly continuing thread.

By the time I reached the ending I fully expected it to make me cry, and that it did, but it was beautifully done and the tears were sorrowful but not wrenching.
