Our Book of the Month Selection is The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa.
This book pleases on many levels. Get a cat's-eye view of contemporary Japan from Nana (who doesn't like his given name), a stray cat adopted by Satoru after being hit by a car. Their cross-species friendship endures through their travels around Japan.
Written in deceptively simple prose, the book is nevertheless profound in its observations about human connections and the joy that can be found in the simplest of things. Experience the wonders of Japan—its land, people, and culture—from a truly unique point of view. Laugh-out-loud funny, poignant, tender, and inventive, it's storytelling at its best.
