Läs om sju katter vars liv sammanflätas med deras människor, och vad de betyder för varandra i den här livsbejakande novellsamlingen.
En hjälplös kattunge räddas ur ett återvinningskärl och lär sin husse att ta hand om sitt nyfödda barn. En äldre katt försöker knäcka koden för att kunna följa sin ägare in i livet efter döden. En flock med vilda katter på en ö lär en ung pojke att inte ställa sig i vägen för naturen. En familj är förvånad över hur lojal deras katt är till den otillgänglige pappan. En kvinna svär över hur hennes katt konstant väcker henne på natten.
Katten som stannade kvar utforskar livet och döden och hur katten alltid finns där för människan – på sitt vis.
Hiro Arikawa föddes 1972 i Kochi, Japan. 2003 vann hon en tävling för nya författare som blev startskottet för en framgångsrik författarkarriär. En av hennes mest kända böcker är En katts resedagbok, som blev en internationell bästsäljare och som även filmatiserats.

Welcome aboard the Hankyu Line train! Come along on a heartwarming, funny, and perfectly cozy voyage with the charming and relatable passengers—including one dashing dachshund—whose lives intersect and affect each other on one of Japan’s most romantic railway lines from international bestselling author Hiro Arikawa.Between the two beautiful towns of Takarazuka and Nishinomiya, in a stunning mountainous area of Japan, rattles the Hankyu Line train. Passengers step on and off, lost in thought, contemplating the tiny knots of their existence.
