HIRO ARIKAWA lives in Tokyo. A bestseller in Japan, THE TRAVELLING CAT CHRONICLES has become an unexpected international hit, and is due to be made into a live-action Japanese film.
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 *
Heart-wrenching but uplifting * Red Magazine *
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is why I read books.
This beautiful story has everything. It's funny, heart-warming,
heart-breaking and kind. * Foreword Books *
This is the book I am giving everyone . . . the book I am
recommending to anyone buying something Japan-related or
cat-related, and, quite possibly, the book I am placing in
someone's hand when they ask me what my favourite book is. For a
bookseller, that is the highest accolade a book can ever
receive. -- Cat McMillan * Waterstones York, Bookseller *
Stunningly beautiful. Tender, warm, sad and uplifting * The Last
Word Review *
A beautiful travelogue * Sydney Morning Herald *
This story of a cat, a man, self-sacrifice and friendship will have
you totally captivated ... An addictive tale of
friendship and love. * Woman's Weekly, Australia *
I would urge people not to dismiss this as a 'cat book'; it is too
much about human interaction and relationships to be so simply
defined. A novel with wide appeal. I predict it will make a
popular Christmas gift. * Readings, Australian
Independent bookshop guide *
The Travelling Cat Chronicles is as much a loving tribute to
Japan's obsession with and reverence for cats as it is an endearing
introduction for non-Japanese readers to the country's
ever-fascinating culture and deeply rooted traditions. -- Alexis
Burling * San Francisco Chronicle *
I'm not ashamed to say it had me at meow. * Washington Post *
A book that stands out within the world of cat literature ... and
it's a world worth exploring. * Time *
I found myself sobbing ... unable, unwilling, to let this little
book go. * NPR *
A book that speaks volumes about our need for connection - human,
feline or otherwise. * San Francisco Chronicle *
This touching novel of a brave cat and his gentle, wise human will
resonate with lovers of animal tales, quiet stories of friendship,
and travelogues alike. * Publishers Weekly *
A delight to read * Financial Times *
