Description
Mornings With My Cat Mii is a beloved Japanese modern classic that chronicles the author's twenty-year bond with her cat. It meditates on themes of solitude, independence, companionship, the writing life, and how cats can change our lives.
This book serves as the perfect gift for cat lovers—a beloved tale that has captured the hearts of readers in Japan for the last 20 years. The late poet and prizewinning author Mayumi Inaba's narrative of life with her cat Mii begins when she rescues the newborn kitten from a riverbank in Tokyo.
The story follows their everyday joys through the seasons as Mayumi develops her career as a writer and finds her footing in life, with her small feline companion always by her side.
For the first time, this touching story has been translated into English by the world-renowned translator Ginny Tapley Takemori. Mornings With My Cat Mii is set to capture the hearts and imaginations of readers and booksellers everywhere.
