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 meeting 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.

      Alex Howard's endearing narration illuminates the time travel of a 15-year-old male cat living in 1887. After his death, Grimalkin spends his remaining eight lives in the supernatural realm, visiting the same Edinburgh tenement in 1902, 1930, 1942, 1953, 1969, 1997, 2008, and 2022. Howard's performance highlights Grimalkin's charming, sometimes cantankerous personality through his commentary on significant discoveries, such as electricity, penicillin, and even canned cat food. Howard's diverse accents and voices convey the changing vernacular through cultural events such as the Beatles phenomenon and the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. This inventive tour through time with its memories of places and people may be especially delightful for cat lovers. M.F. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
