Narrated by:
A Man Called Ove meets The Traveling Cat Chronicles in this utterly charming and brilliantly funny international fur-nomenon narrated by Frankie, a scrappy stray cat who knows a lot about life.
Meet Frankie the cat. He’s a scrappy stray who belongs to no one, and that’s just how he likes it.
Until one day, everything changes. He crosses paths with Richard.
Richard isn’t doing so well. Grieving the loss of his wife, he’s turned his back on hope and is ready to end it all. But his plans are halted when Frankie turns up injured on his doorstep.
Frankie needs help. But then, so does Richard. What Richard doesn’t know is that Frankie is no ordinary cat.
Sometimes in our darkest hour, a cat companion is just what the doctor ordered. Join Frankie and Richard in this heart-warming, laugh-out-loud, hopeful tale about the bond between humans and animals, and the redemptive power of friendship.

"A sometimes scurrilous, thoroughly smart and somewhat eccentric book. Frankie himself is a very cool feline, self-assured and a touch egocentric." —Goslarsche Zeitung
"This novel is an almost perfect balancing-act of joie de vivre and death wish, light-heartedness and heartbreaking sorrow." —Der Stern
"This spring’s quirkiest comedy is a bout a properly odd couple: a man who’s tired of life, and a flippant tom cat." —Playboy
