Is there anyone you wish to see?

So asks the smart young man, Ayumi, to his clients who have come to him for a reunion with the person who once changed their life.

But it is no ordinary reunion. The people they ask to see have passed away.

Calling himself the go-between, Ayumi lays down strict rules around the meetings between the living and the dead: the deceased cannot have been summoned by anyone else; they may refuse; and they must meet under a full moon.

  • Anxious Hirase asks to see the celebrity who showed her kindness at a critical moment.
  • An arrogant family man wants clarity about a will from his beloved mother.
  • After a bike accident, a schoolgirl has a question for her former best friend.
  • A salaryman wants to ask the only woman he ever loved what caused her to run away.

With each reunion, tantalising clues are scattered for readers to piece together the emotional truth behind the go-between in this mesmeric and unputdownable tale of kindness, compassion, and connection.

Who would you like to see?


Watch out for How to Hold Someone in Your Heart, the sequel to Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon coming soon.
