The Guest Cat is a subtly moving novel that conveys deeply felt ways of being. Two writers, a young couple, enjoy their quiet cottage in a leafy part of Tokyo: they work at home as freelance editors.

New, small joys, radiated by the fleeting loveliness of life, accompany the cat; the days take on more light and color.
