A young couple moves into the annexe of an old Japanese house surrounded by a lush garden. A cat appears there whose beauty and mystery seem to embody the soul of the place; the relationship the couple forms with it fills the narrative with magical moments, always aware of the transience of beauty and joy.
First novel by Takashi Hiraide, autobiographical in nature, originally published in 2001 as «Neko no kyaku» and translated from the Japanese by Elisabeth Suetsugu.
For readers of Japanese literature, literary fiction and stories featuring cats.
