Description

A quiet, everyday bond between a person and a cat becomes the center of a story about endings, memory, and the ways love lingers after loss. When a small community is forced to confront change, the cat’s presence—both ordinary and strangely meaningful—draws out secrets, regrets, and the courage to keep going. Blending gentle humor with emotional clarity, the novel explores themes of grief, companionship, and the fragile beauty of routine. With Hiro Arikawa’s signature warmth and humane storytelling, this is a moving, accessible read that finds hope in the goodbye itself.
