Welcome to Litsy!

This is a delightfully charming and sweet little tale about Grimaldi the cat who is sent back to Earth to live out his remaining eight lives. He visits 1909, 1935, 1942, 1953, 1969, 1997, 2002 and 2022 and the story is told in a series of glimpses or vignettes as told through Grimaldi‘s eyes. Engaging and also a little poignant in places.

In this light hearted story, a cat is given the chance to live out more lives as a ghost among the living. He accepts the offer but realizes it isn‘t so easy after all. He gets 120 years worth, and observes many changes during that time. The funniest parts are him experiencing new inventions that are useful to humans, and trying to catch a mouse. I loved the parts where humans could sometimes see him, if only for a second!

This book is a hidden gem! In this story we are following Grimalkin the cat through his nine lives over 120 years. Each time period of his lives he is experiencing new inventions, new ways of speaking and new humans. The story is so much more than that though. It‘s genius and it may be my most recommended book of 2024!

Im going from one book with cats to another! Started this one on my lunchbreak.

another one done…kinda slow but it was a nice glimpse into a cat‘s life #audiophile #readinggoal #readinglife

Did I also wander over to the bookstore? Yes, yes I did! 🤭 I was excited to see a beautiful hardcover edition of Carmilla! And I've never heard of the tagged book before, but I was really intrigued! 💕📚

Despite the slow pace, Grimalkin's perspective and his love for humans make for an entertaining read. His adventures, especially helping Hannah, a university student dealing with difficult flatmates, add a touching element to the story.
