This is an incredibly swift and unique read. As three very different people experience death, they are greeted Mr Hirasaka, who will help them move on, by identifying and reliving one important memory in their lives.
It’s too fast a read to really sit in your thoughts and mull like some translated fiction. But it does end with a slap in the face and that life affirming message I’ve come to expect from similar style novels.
