_______________ In Tokyo - one of the world's largest megacities -
a stray cat is wending her way through the back alleys. And, with
each detour, she brushes up against the seemingly disparate lives
of the city-dwellers, connecting them in unexpected ways. But the
city is changing. As it does, it pushes her to the margins where
she chances upon a series of apparent strangers - from a homeless
man squatting in an abandoned hotel, to a shut-in hermit afraid to
leave his house, to a convenience store worker searching for love.
The cat orbits Tokyo's denizens, drawing them ever closer.
'Masterfully weaves together seemingly disparate threads to conjure
up a vivid tapestry of Tokyo; its glory, its shame, its characters,
and a calico cat.' David Peace, author of THE TOKYO TRILOGY One of
the Independent's best debuts Longlisted for the DUBLIN LITERARY
AWARD, 2021
