A warm, quirky novel on life, love, family estrangement and what remains when we are gone with a surprising emotional charge. * Observer * If you're a fan of The Guest Cat (or even just cats generally), you'll love this. * Sunday Times #StyleReads * This brief existential enquiry into life's priorities is gently charming. * The Skinny * A moral tale. * The Express * A poignant, affecting story about facing up to one's mortality, taking responsibility for one's choices and deciding what truly holds value. * The Herald * Reminiscent of Johnathan Livingston Seagull, this was a quick read - it only took me a few hours - but it will stay with you long after you finish it. * My Weekly *
