Scott Aiello lends a steady and studious voice to this beloved translation from Spanish about serendipity, happenstance, and love. A cat arrives on Samuel's doorstep on New Year's Day, sparking a series of events that leads the lonely linguistics professor to venture outside his books and routine. Aiello's narration starts out uninflected, a style that works well for Samuel's early musings on the cat's appearance. As Samuel grows emotionally, Aiello's inflection changes. The author dramatizes the phenomenon in which "a small act of kindness sets off a chain of events that come around again in the form of multiplied love." The narration, which supports the sweet story rather than outshining it, allows the listener to ponder these events. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

This novel, the quirky tale of Barcelona linguistics professor Samuel, a mysterious cat named Mishima, and the bumpy road to love, is an international bestseller in its original Spanish edition. As the tale begins on New Year’s Eve, Samuel is predicting that the coming year will be as uneventful and predictable as those that preceded it—until a cat mysteriously shows up at his apartment and makes itself at home. While seeking to find out where the cat came from, Samuel meets eccentric neighbors, rediscovers a childhood love, and ultimately comes to realize that love can be found anywhere, if one looks for it. Miralles’s endearing romantic comedy should become as big a hit Stateside as it has been elsewhere in the world.
