Love in Lowercase: A Novel

Synopsis: A feel-good novel for fans of A Man Called Ove and The Rosie Project, about an eccentric, language-loving bachelor and the cat that opens his eyes to life's little pleasures The Silver Linings Playbook author Matthew Quick: "A delightfully absurd, life-affirming celebration. I literally stood up an d cheered as I read the last page." When Samuel, a lonely linguistics lecturer, wakes up on New Year's Day, he is convinced that the year ahead will bring nothing more than passive verbs and un-italicized moments--until an unexpected visitor slips into his Barc elona apartment and refuses to leave. The appearance of Mishima, a stray, b rindle-furred cat, becomes the catalyst that leads Samuel from the comforts of his favorite books, foreign films, and classical music to places he's n ever been (next door) and to people he might never have met (a neighbor wit h whom he's never exchanged a word). Even better, the Catalan cat leads him back to the mysterious Gabriela, whom he thought he'd lost long before, an d shows him, in this international bestseller for fans of The Rosie Project , The Solitude of Prime Numbers, and A Man Called Ove, that sometimes love is hiding in the smallest characters.
