She follows the sound to the banks of Tokyo’s Tamagawa River and finds a newborn kitten dangling from a fence, abandoned. Overcome by tender affection, she takes the cat back to the small apartment she shares with her husband and christens her Mii: so begins an unshakeable bond. Over the next twenty years, we follow Inaba, a poet and novelist by moonlight, as she pursues quiet solitude and a room of her own. Through it all, Mii, a fiercely independent creature in her own right, is her confidante and muse. This beloved Japanese modern classic is not just a love letter to companionship: it’s a poignant, searching meditation on the forces that enable us to connect, to create and to build a life. ‘Reveals the profound respect, and compassion, that a friendship with an animal can inspire’ Sigrid Nunez, New YorkerTranslated by Ginny Tapley Takemori**Readers ADORE Mii**‘A lovely little gem’‘Gentle and enchanting and had me in floods by the end’‘Absolutely beautiful'‘Sweet and heartbreaking’‘Told with grace, beauty and love’","brand":"BOOKSITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45358983807091,"sku":"9781529922813","price":266.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/19649853482732.jpg?v=1789416091","url":"https:\/\/www.readerswarehouse.co.za\/products\/9781529922813","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
