4.0

Beautiful and austere, this book of four interconnected stories forms a whole novella. It’s about loneliness and grief, and about the joy we receive when we love a cat who loves us back. Each section is told in alternating voices, one human and one cat, and it’s a warm storytelling device, showing the cats’ lives to be as vibrant as those of the humans. Hard to read if you’re feeling melancholy but overall full of love and compassion.
