the Guest Cat

This book is a novel by Takashi Hiraide (possibly autobiographical, I'd like to think so). It's extremely simple: a couple in their thirties, both work-from-home freelance writers, develop a blossoming relationship with the cat belonging to one of their neighbours. That's it, that's the book. But it's written in such poignant, intimate prose that it becomes a delicious meandering through everyday life's joys & sorrows. Absolutely worth a read.
