SINGLE MOTHER ELISE IS completely devoted to her
eleven-year-old son; he is her whole world. But that world
is destroyed in one terrifying moment when her son is killed
in a car accident just outside their home. Suddenly alone,
surrounded by memories, Elise faces a future that feels
unspeakably bleak—and pointless. Lost, angry, and desolate,
Elise rejects everyone who tries to reach out to her. But as
despair threatens to engulf her, she realizes, to her
horror, that she cannot join her son: She must take care of
his beloved cat. At first she attempts to carry out this
task entirely by herself, shut away from a frightening new
reality that seems surreal and incomprehensible. But
isolation proves to be impossible, and before long others
insinuate themselves into her life—friends, enemies,
colleagues, neighbors, a former lover—bringing with them the
fragile beginnings of survival. Powerfully moving and deeply
humane, The Cat is an unforgettable novel about the
extraordinary resilience of the human spirit.
