A sweeping collections of vignettes about cats and their humans and small but powerful connections. I enjoy Japanese fiction and have read a lot of it over the last few years. Tonight I realised why: it’s the gentleness - almost a quietness - in their storytelling that is unlike books in other languages. It makes me think that Japanese must be a beautiful language, simple, poetic, powerful.
