When the world is ending, what matters most to you?
Seventeen-year-old Aisha hasn't seen her sister June for two years. She has
no idea where she is, but that hasn't stopped her from thinking about her
every day and hoping she's okay.
But now that a calamity is about to end the world in nine months' time, she
and her mother decide that it's time to track her down and mend the hurts of
the past. They don't have any time to spare - if they don't resolve their issues
now, they never will.
Along with Aisha's boyfriend Walter and his parents (and a stray cat named
Fleabag), the group embarks on a roadtrip through Malaysia in a wildly
decorated campervan to put the past to rest, to come to terms with the
present, and to hope for the future, even with the world about to end.
Nadia Mikailstudies law in London. She is also a full-time houseplant owner
and a part-time investigative journalist of what London's pigeons are planning
when they flock together like that. She is mostly unsuccessful at (but still
hopeful about) both these occupations. She is from Sarawak in Malaysia,
where the air is always sweeter, the food is always tastier, and the pigeons
are considerably less bold. The Cats We Meet Along The Way is her first
novel.
