Translated from Japanese, this is magical realism following a “Go-Between” who arranges meetings between the living and the dead. This is an emotional rollercoaster of a book, and having dealt with a lot of grief over the past couple of years, this hit me hard. It‘s about death so obviously it‘s pretty sad, but the reflective and gentle tone made this feel like a comforting hug. The episodic stories end up being interconnected in a satisfying way.
