Description
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 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.

* A Waterstones Fiction Book of the Month * "A charming novel... This is one of the only books to make me cry, and my only complaint is that it ended far too soon." --Manhattan Book Review "...Anyone who loves cats and considers them family will adore Grimalkin, whose emotional attachments become the sweet center of the novel." --Booklist "A beautifully written cat's-eye view of some 120 years of history. Prepare to be enchanted." --Simon Brett, author of the Mrs Pargeter series
