A NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR
'Exquisite... a beautiful book, one of the finest meditations on animal companionship that I have ever read' Kathryn Hughes, Guardian
An instant New York Times bestseller, this is an unforgettable story about love, loss and redemption from a highly acclaimed writer
Caleb Carr lived with cats ever since he was a young boy. He grew up in a turbulent household - where famous Beat poets, artists and addicts came and went - and his steadiest companions were pets. Since then he had many feline companions, with relationships that have outlasted most of his human ones. But only after building a three-story home in rural, upstate New York did he encounter someone extraordinary: Masha, a Siberian Forest cat who had been abandoned as a kitten and was languishing in a shelter. She had hissed and fought off all previous carers and potential adopters, but somehow, she chose him.
For the seventeen years that followed, Caleb an d Masha were inseparable. Masha ruled the house and the dangerous wilderness surrounding it. When she was hurt, only Caleb could help her. When he suffered long-standing physical ailments, Masha knew what to do. Caleb learned to decode much of Masha's inner life but their bond went far beyond owner and pet. Inspiring, heart-breaking and life-affirming, this is a love story like no other.
