It's not the journey that counts, but who's at your side.

Nana is on a road trip, but he is not sure where he is going. All that matters is that he can sit beside his beloved owner Satoru in the front seat of his silver van. Satoru is keen to visit three old friends from his youth, though Nana doesn't know why and Satoru won't say. Set against the backdrop of Japan's changing seasons and narrated with a rare gentleness and humour, Nana's story explores the wonder and thrill of life's unexpected detours. It is about the value of friendship and solitude, and knowing when to give and when to take.

This novel has already demonstrated its power to move thousands of readers with a message of kindness and truth. It shows, above all, how acts of love, both great and small, can transform our lives.

Reviews for The Travelling Cat Chronicles: The uplifting million-copy bestselling Japanese translated story

Fleet, funny and tender... Arikawa clearly knows cats as well as any human can. * TIME * A book about kindness and love, and about how the smallest things can provide happiness * Stylist * Arikawa has a lightness of touch that elevates this to a tale about loyalty and friendship ... while speaking to our basic human need for companionship -- JOHN BOYNE * Irish Times * Prepare to have your heart strings tugged by this quirky tale . . . It's a deceptively gentle story that you won't need to be a cat lover to fall for. * Sunday Mirror * Sweet, sad and lovely, this is a roadtrip novel with a difference * Psychologies Magazine *
