12 posts | 8 read | 8 to read
For fans of THE TRAVELLING CAT CHRONICLES, THE CAT WHO SAVED BOOKS and SHE AND HER CAT, discover the award-winning bestselling Japanese novel that has become an international sensation in this utterly charming celebration of the healing power of cats. A cat a day keeps the doctor away ... On the top floor of an old building at the end of a cobbled alley in Kyoto lies the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul. Only a select few - those who feel genuine emotional pain - can find it. The mysterious centre offers a unique treatment for its troubled patients: it prescribes cats as medication. Get ready to fall in love: - Bee, an eight-year-old female, mixed breed helps a disheartened businessman as he finds unexpected joy in physical labour; - Margot, muscly like a lightweight boxer, helps a middle-aged callcentre worker stay relevant; - Koyuki, an exquisite white cat brings closure to a mother troubled by the memory of the rescue kitten she was forced to abandon; - Tank and Tangerine bring peace to a hardened fashion designer, as she learns to be kinder to herself; - Mimita, the Scottish Fold kitten helps a broken-hearted Geisha to stop blaming herself for the cat she once lost. As the clinic's patients seek inner peace, their feline friends lead them towards healing, self-discovery and newfound hope. Contains five delicious cat line-drawings. Japanese bestseller, October 2023 Japanese readers adore WE'LL PRESCRIBE YOU A CAT: The most wonderful book I've ever read ***** A terrific idea, a powerful ending, brilliant storytelling ***** The story drew me in instantly, and I laughed so much ***** I definitely want everyone to read this book ***** There are so many wonderful lines to underscore, but if I write them here, there will be spoilers! *****

This book began really great for me and I liked the first couple of stories in the narration. However, towards the middle, the book became cutesy and lost the sharpness and psychological insight of the first half of the book. The narration is outstanding and kept me going, I might not have finished the printed book

We'll Prescribe You A Cat is a cut above some of the other Japanese best-sellers that have found their way onto Anglophone shelves lately, more nuanced and layered. It‘s sweet without being cloying, and insightful without being heavy-handed. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/well-prescribe-you-a-cat-syou-ishida/

Super cute book. Little stories about kitties and their effect on people's mental health :) I loved it! -- This was a very thoughtful book present from my hubby. I was kinda surprised I got a random book present the other day.

This book comes out at the beginning of September. I downloaded a sample and look at the cuteness 😻 of the title page.
