Summary:
A couple in their thirties live in a small rented cottage in a quiet part of Tokyo; they work at home, freelance copy-editing; they no longer have very much to say to one another. But one day a
cat
invites itself into their small kitchen. It leaves, but the next day comes again, and then again and again. Soon they are buying treats for the
cat
and enjoying talks about the animal and all its little ways. Life suddenly seems to have more promise for the husband and wife--the days have more light and color. The novel brims with new small joys and many moments of staggering poetic beauty, but then something happens...
