About this listen

A charming novel for fans of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and How to Stop Time, following a cat through his nine lives in Edinburgh, moving through the ever-changing city and meeting its inhabitants over centuries

Early morning, 1902. At 7/7 Marchmont Crescent, Eilidh the charlady tips coal into a fire grate and sets it alight. Overhearing, Grimalkin the cat ambles over to curl up against the welcome heat and lick his favorite human's hand. But this is to be his last day on earth…before he becomes the Ghost Cat.

Follow Grimalkin as he witnesses the changes of the next 120 years, prowling unseen among the inhabitants of an Edinburgh tenement while unearthing some startling revelations about the mystery of existence, the unstoppable march of time and the true meaning of feline companionship.

Such a beautiful and tender story with historical facts and a description of the world from a cat’s perspective which often is very similar to one’s view of the world. Well narrated by the author. Some funny parts as well.

I couldn’t put this down. Visiting Edinburgh recently, I enjoyed the history that was included. I could see and feel the places Alex mentioned. Cats are amazing creatures and I truly enjoyed this kitty and all of his lives. Alex did an amazing job weaving the cat’s lives into the historical events of Edinburgh. Great writer!

Amazing book!

It’s just bad. There’s no development. It’s extremely boring. Could not keep my focus. So disappointing. Didn’t finish.

Waste of time
