Off the Shelf: Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon - Mizuki Tsujimura in conversation with Nozomi Uematsu

Fri 10 October 2025 , 6pm-7pm

Millennium Gallery

Ayumi, ‘the Go-Between’, arranges reunions for clients with the person who once changed their life. But these reunions are with the dead. There are strict rules: the deceased cannot have been summoned by anyone else; they may refuse; and they must meet under a full moon.

 

Mizuki Tsujimura creates a beautiful, unforgettable page-turner where the living and the dead are given one last chance for closure. A runaway bestseller in Japan, Lost Souls Meet Under a Full Moon is storytelling at its finest.  

'Recalls early Murakami. An enchanting read'  Financial Times
