A friend lent me this - and what a lovely lend it was. If you
are an animal lover, you will soon recognise the close bond that is
sometimes formed betweeen an animal and it's human.
Here, Nana the stray
tomcat is found and adopted by Satoru, and they lead a very pleasant
life together. And then one day they set out on a journey all over Japan
meeting friends of Satoru in the hope that (due to his changed
circumstances) they will adopt Nana. No such luck, so he presses on to
his Aunt's home - the Aunt who looked after him when his parents died.
Now she has to make friends with Nana...... and she doesn't like cats. I
won't insert a spoiler, this book is best read without knowledge of the
changed circumstances of Satoru....... but I have to say I did have a
lump in my throat near the end. A Lovely little book, simplistic but not boring.
