She and her Cat
Translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori
For fans of The Travelling Cat Chronicles and translated by Ginny Tapley Takemori, translator of Convenience Store Woman.
On the outskirts of Tokyo, local cats weave their way through the lives and homes of their owners as they navigate difficult times.
-
A cat named Chobi sends silent messages of courage to a young woman, willing her to end a faltering relationship
-
A gifted artist fatally misunderstands her boss's enthusiasm for her paintings
-
A manga fan shuts herself away after the death of her friend, while her cat Cookie hatches a plan to persuade her outside
-
A woman who has dedicated her life to a distant husband learns a lesson in independence from her cat
Against the urban backdrop of humming trains and private woes, She and Her Cat explores the gentle magic of the everyday.
Populated by both the friendly and the feral, it reveals — with heart-stopping clarity and warmth — how even in our darkest moments, community and connection may lead us to a happier place.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
