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.

"A fireside tale that looks at how and why the living are haunted by the dead... Tsujimura's profound insights into ordinary lives and motivations - and how the dead might ease the minds of the living - make this a ghostly little masterpiece." -- Wall Street Journal 

I bring together the living and the departed. I am the go-between.

When 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 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. As 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.

Already a multimillion-copy bestseller in Japan, Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon is storytelling at its finest. Captivating, cozy, and compulsively readable, this is an unforgettable page-turner in which the living and the dead are given one last chance for closure.
