About this listen

**NOW A MAJOR FILM - ALL OF US STRANGERS - STARRING PAUL MESCAL, CLAIRE FOY, ANDREW SCOTT AND JAMIE BELL**
'Deeply satisfying. . . a wonderful study of grief and isolation.' Daily Mail
'A sharp, chilling contemporary ghost story.' The Scotsman
'Powerful.' Guardian
'Sexy, insightful and frequently funny.' Irish Examiner
Middle-aged, jaded and divorced, TV scriptwriter Harada returns one night to the dilapidated downtown district of Tokyo where he grew up. There, at the theatre, he meets a likable man who looks exactly like his long-dead father. And so begins Harada's ordeal, as he's thrust into a reality where his parents appear to be alive at the exact age they had been when they had died so many years before.

I chose this book as it is to be made into a movie, and, for a long time, I have been fascinated by all things Japan and their way of approaching life eg Departures (a older movie about funerals)

WOW! I was not disappointed!

The interplay of reality and spirit worked so well, the listen was wholly plausible.
And though I haven’t seen a photo of the narrator, I imagined him of Japanese descent. The timbre of his voice was well chosen for this listen.

Out of this world experience
