About this listen
From the quiet perch of an English garden, a grieving cat named Bosie recounts a love story unlike any other—between two souls bound by loyalty, loss, and the enduring power of memory.
In this tender and elegantly written novella, Bosie reflects on her life with Bertie—a noble, ginger tomcat whose warmth, courage, and unwavering companionship shaped her world. Set against the backdrop of a timeless English village, their story unfolds through shared adventures, quiet moments by the fire, and the devastating storms—both literal and emotional—that test their bond.
When tragedy strikes not once but twice, Bosie must navigate a landscape forever altered by absence. Yet even in grief, love persists—in the rustle of wheat fields, the strains of Mozart through an open window, and the kindness of old friends like Ben and Lilly.
“Bertie” is a poignant meditation on love, loss, and what it means to carry someone in your heart long after they’re gone—told through the wise, wistful eyes of a cat who knew what it meant to be truly loved.
Perfect for listeners who cherished The Art of Racing in the Rain or Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat, this lyrical tale will resonate with animal lovers, fans of British charm, and anyone who has ever mourned a beloved companion.
