We'll Prescribe You Another Cat

bySyou Ishida, Emmie Madison Shimoda (Translator)
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’s a mysteriously located clinic with an uncertain address, it can always be found by those who need it. And the clinic has proven time after time that a prescribed cat has the power to heal the emotional wounds of its patients.

This charming sequel introduces a new lovable 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 let tiny size stop her, and lovable, lazy Ms. Michiko, who is as soft and comforting as mochi.

As characters from one chapter 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 at a cat shelter seeking to show how difficult cats are the most rewarding.

This moving, magical novel proves just how unknowable and special cats are for we humans, while holding a special place for rescue cats who transform our lives.
