This gentle fantasy is not to be missed.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review (Best Books of the Year) In Japan, cats are a symbol of good luck. As the myth goes, if you are kind to them, they’ll one day return the favor. And if you are kind to the right cat, you might just find yourself invited to a mysterious coffee shop under a glittering Kyoto moon. This particular coffee shop is like no other.

Every person who visits the shop has been feeling more than a little lost.

For there is a very special reason the shop appeared to each of them . . .
