Description
What if the people we lose didn’t vanish, but instead found new ways to stay—quietly inhabiting the objects that once held their presence? In a gently uncanny afterlife, eleven recently deceased souls are guided by a nameless ghost toward reunions that are tender, strange, and deeply personal, as they learn to “live on” through everyday keepsakes. Blending Japanese folk belief with a warm, witty sensibility, this rediscovered classic explores attachment, grief, and the longing to be near the ones we love—without offering easy answers. Naoko Higashi’s lyrical, emotionally precise storytelling turns the supernatural into something intimate, making the book both comforting and unexpectedly sensual.
