Love in Small Letters by Francesc Miralles
When Samuel wakes up on 1st January, he is convinced that the year ahead will bring nothing exciting or unusual – until a strange visitor bursts into his flat, determined not to leave. The appearance of Mishima, a stray cat, leads Samuel to a strange encounter with the enigmatic Valdemar and his neighbour Titus, with whom he had previously never exchanged a word, and is the catalyst for the incredible transformation that is about to occur in the secluded world he has built around himself. As unexpected friendships develop out of these encounters and a childhood love is reignited, Samuel discovers, for the first time in his life, how small everyday acts can have the power to unleash a hurricane of feeling and awaken the heart from its slumber.
This delightful and quirky love story follows the events triggered when Samuel placed a saucer of milk outside his front door* The Good Book Guide *
If you don’t like cats, Mishima will change your worldview. If you do like cats, this book is a gift. Read it and fall in love! -- Gwen Cooper, New York Times bestselling author of Homer’s Odyssey
A delightfully absurd, life-affirming celebration. I literally stood up and cheered as I read the last page. -- Matthew Quick, New York Times bestselling author of The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail
A charming and linguistically witty story about love, language, Barcelona, and cats (!) that will resonate for all of us who agree that life’s journey is one that we must never take alone. Funny and touching, Love in Small Letters is proof that the Butterfly Effect can work on a decidedly human scale. I’ve been asked to blurb a lot of books over the last dozen years or so, and few have I enjoyed as much as this one. -- Mark Dunn, bestselling author of Ella Minnow Pea: A Novel in Letters
Genuinely charming… A romance that involves meddlesome cats, fate, and lots of musings on Goethe, Kafka, and Rilke… [It] highlight[s] the magic in the ordinary… Samuel, full of awkwardness and good intentions, is an easy protagonist to root for. * Kirkus Reviews *
