What a wonderful book. It's a story, told in part through the eyes and voice of a cat. Nana, a stray cat is hit by a car. He's saved by Satoru, a young man who had a similar cat growing up. The story focuses on his quest to find a home for Nana, and he visits several of his childhood friends to see if they're a god fit for Nana. On his journey, not only does his past unfold, but we gather insight into Japanese culture and ways of life. Ultimately, it's a story of love and loyalty. I can't recommend this book highly enough. It's beautifully written and the translator did a fantastic. job.
