Ayumi, ‘the Go-Between’, arranges reunions for clients with the person who once changed their life. But these reunions are with the dead. There are strict rules: the deceased cannot have been summoned by anyone else; they may refuse; and they must meet under a full moon. Mizuki Tsujimura creates a beautiful, unforgettable page-turner where the living and the dead are given one last chance for closure. A runaway bestseller in Japan, Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon is storytelling at its finest. This event has Japanese to English translation.
