A captivating cat's-eye view of over 120 years of history awaits you! Prepare to be enchanted.
In the early morning hours of 1902, at 7/7 Marchmont Crescent, Eilidh, the charlady, carefully pours coal into a fire grate, igniting it with a spark. Unbeknownst to her, Grimalkin, the cat, overhears the commotion and makes his way over to curl up against the warm and comforting heat, relishing the gentle touch of his favorite human, Eilidh. However, this would mark the last day of Grimalkin's earthly existence as he embarks on a remarkable journey to become the Ghost Cat.
Follow Grimalkin as he traverses the next 120 years, stealthily wandering among the inhabitants of an enchanting Edinburgh tenement. Along the way, he uncovers profound insights into the mystery of existence, the relentless march of time, and the true essence of feline companionship.
This unique tale offers a heartwarming and delightful read for anyone who appreciates history, humor, and the joy of furry companions. It will particularly appeal to fans of Matt Haig's How to Stop Time and V.E. Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.
The Ghost Cat is an absolute delight in the heart of Edinburgh, where the mizzle-ridden days are perfectly suited for books like this!
Lucy Ribchester, the author of The Hourglass Factory, had this to say:"A beautiful story that Tiktok's @beansthegingercat has enchanting, entertaining, and engaging. I found myself completely wrapped up in this beautiful little cat's paws throughout the entire book, my heartstrings gently entwined.
