Nana is on a road trip, but he is not sure where to. All that matters is that he can sit beside his beloved Satoru in the front of his silver van. Satoru is keen to visit three old friends from his youth, though Nana doesn't know why and Satoru won't say.
Set against the backdrop of Japan's changing seasons and narrated with a rare gentleness and striking humour, Nana's story explores the wonder and thrill of life's unexpected detours. It is about friendship, solitude and knowing when to give and when to take. Above all, it shows how acts of love, both great and small, can transform our lives.

A gentle book that is a little sad though I didn't cry. However it shows how close humans and pets can be. Also I think the medical profession has started to realise the benefits of our animal friends as nowadays we have visitor dogs and cats on some wards as doctors have recognised their calming influence. When my late friend was in a hospice prior to her passing, they allowed all four of her siamese cats to visit her.

Taking to today's bc meet up.
