COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘We’ll Prescribe You Another Cat’ by Syou Ishida

This week, we’re giving away three copies of We'll Prescribe You Another Cat by Syou Ishida. In We’ll Prescribe You Another Cat, the magical Kokoro Clinic for the Soul reopens to help those in emotional pain through the healing presence of cats. This heartwarming sequel follows a cast of new feline healers and the humans whose lives they transform, from a grieving grandfather to a guarded young woman learning to accept love. Here’s the blurb:

By the author of the sensational worldwide bestseller WE'LL PRESCRIBE YOU A CAT – meet more irresistible furry friends to help you cure your emotional dilemmas, set in a magical clinic in Kyoto, Japan

The highly anticipated new novel – The Kokoro Clinic for the Soul reopens in this delightful follow-up to the award-winning, bestselling Japanese novel We'll Prescribe You a Cat for fans of The Travelling Cat Chronicles and The Cat Who Saved Books

It’s time to revisit the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul.

Though it is mysteriously located at an uncertain address, the Kokoro clinic can always be found by those who need it. And it has proven time after time that a prescribed cat has the power to heal the emotional wounds of all its patients.

This irresistible sequel introduces a new loveable cast of healing cats, from Kotetsu, a four-month-old Bengal who unleashes his energy by demolishing bed linen, to curious Shasha, who won't let her tiny size stop her, and lazy Ms. Michiko, who is as soft and comforting as mochi.

As characters from one chapter re-appear as side characters in the next, we follow a young woman who cannot help pushing away the man who loves her; a recently widowed grandfather whose grandson refuses to leave his room; and an anxious man working at a cat shelter who seeks to show how difficult cats can be the most rewarding.

This moving, magical novel proves just how eternally unknowable cats are for we humans, even while we continue to cherish their special gift of transforming our lives.
