Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon - Mizuki Tsujimura

A suspenseful magical realism novel about a mysterious teenage Go-Between who arranges meetings between the living and the dead, from multimillion copy Japanese bestselling author Mizuki Tsujimura. \nI bring together the living and the departed. I am the Go-Between. \n \nWhen a young woman from Tokyo contacts the Go-Between to request a meeting with a deceased TV star who once helped her, she doesn't expect a teenage boy to show up. Dressed in a designer duffel coat and carrying a tattered notebook, Ayumi Shibuya, our mysterious intermediary, offers an extraordinary service: he reunites the living with their dearly departed. Meeting his clients at a luxury hotel, Ayumi lays down the ground rules: each reunion is a one-time arrangement that the dead can refuse; the service is entirely free, and the meeting must take place during a full moon. \n \nAs Ayumi arranges these reunions, we encounter a resentful eldest son who wants to ask his mother to unearth the deeds to a plot of land; a teenage girl who blames herself for her best friend's death; and a weary businessman seeking answers about his fiancée's disappearance days after he proposed. With each rendezvous, clues begin to surface, leading readers to unravel the mystery of the boy in the duffel coat, whose own story is eventually revealed. \n \nA runaway, multimillion copy bestseller in Japan, Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon is storytelling at its finest, from an international sensation whose work has been hailed as strange and beautiful (The Guardian). With an artful balance of heart and mystery, Mizuki Tsujimura creates an unforgettable page-turner in which the living and the dead are given one last chance for closure.\n
