A warm, quirky novel on life, love, family estrangement and what remains when we are gone with a surprising emotional charge.
A warm, quirky novel on life, love, family estrangement and what remains when we are gone with a surprising emotional charge. * Observer *If you’re a fan of The Guest Cat (or even just cats generally), you’ll love this. * Sunday Times #StyleReads *This brief existential enquiry into life’s priorities is gently charming. * The Skinny *A moral tale. * The Express *A poignant, affecting story about facing up to one’s mortality, taking responsibility for one’s choices and deciding what truly holds value. * The Herald *Reminiscent of Johnathan Livingston Seagull, this was a quick read – it only took me a few hours – but it will stay with you long after you finish it. * My Weekly *
