      A beloved Japanese modern classic, this deeply affecting story explores solitude, independence, writing, grief, love, and life alongside a cat. In 1977, Mayumi Inaba hears a forlorn cry by Tokyo's Tamagawa River and discovers an abandoned newborn kitten. Overcome with affection, she takes the tiny creature home and names her Mii, marking the beginning of an ineffable bond. Over the next twenty years, we follow Inaba, a poet and novelist, as she seeks quiet, solitude, and a space of her own. Mii, a fiercely independent cat, becomes her confidante and muse. This memoir beautifully captures the daily joys and intimacies of their relationship, offering a reverential portrait of human-feline connection. Inaba's reflections serve as a poignant meditation on the forces that enable us to connect, create, and build a meaningful life. Recognized as a must-read by various literary platforms, this work stands out for its profound and moving narrative, celebrating companionship and the emotional landscapes we navigate.
