We'll Prescribe You a Cat
We'll Prescribe You a Cat: The feel good Japanese bestselling book | Syou Ishida
10 posts | 4 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! *****

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.
