We'll Prescribe You Another Cat

The highly anticipated new novel - The Kokoro Clinic for the Soul reopens in this delightful follow-up to the award-winning, bestselling Japanese novel We'll Prescribe You a Cat for fans of The Travelling Cat Chronicles and The Cat Who Saved Books

It’s time to revisit the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul.

Though it is mysteriously located at an uncertain address, the Kokoro clinic can always be found by those who need it. And it has proven time after time that a prescribed cat has the power to heal the emotional wounds of all its patients.

This irresistible sequel introduces a new loveable cast of healing cats, from Kotetsu, a four-month-old Bengal who unleashes his energy by demolishing bed linen and curtains, to curious Shasha, who won't let her tiny size stop her, and delicious, lazy Ms. Michiko, who is as soft and comforting as mochi.

As characters from one chapter re-appear as side characters in the next, we follow a young woman who cannot help pushing away the man who loves her; a recently widowed grandfather whose grandson refuses to leave his room; a family who struggle to understand each other, and an anxious man working at a cat shelter who seeks to show how difficult cats can be the most rewarding.

This moving, magical novel proves with energy and humour just how eternally unknowable cats are for we humans, even while we continue to bend to their iron will and cherish their capacity to transform our lives.
