An Evening with Alex Howard - Edinburgh West End

Join us on Wednesday 7th August as we welcome Alex Howard to the shop to celebrate the paperback release of The Ghost Cat.

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 favourite 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.
A heartwarming and engaging story for all fans of Matt Haig and Toshikazu Kawaguchi, The Ghost Cat views over a century of life in an Edinburgh tenement through the eyes of a feline spectre.
