This month, Arverne Bookclub will be reading "We'll Perscribe you a Cat" by Syou Ishida. Tucked away on the fifth floor of an old building at the end of a narrow alley in Kyoto, the Nakagyō Kokoro Clinic for the Soul can be found only by people who are struggling in their lives and who genuinely need help. The mysterious clinic offers a unique treatment to those who find their way there: it prescribes cats as medication. Patients are often puzzled by this unconventional prescription, but when they “take” their cat for the recommended duration, they witness profound transformations in their lives, guided by the playful, empathetic, and occasionally challenging yet endearing cats. Pick up a physical copy at the branch. If you'd like to attend our discussion online, please go to this click: https://bit.ly/arvernelibrary
