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.

Could not stop listening
Really engaging. Kept me up at night because I couldn’t stop listening. I wanted a story to escape into and this was perfect.

Whimsical
Enjoyed listening to this and felt it had moments of poignancy but was engaging and treated the subject matter with a lightness of tone that enhances the story

Out of this world experience
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.

Great story
Having watched the upcoming film adaptation I was eager to read the book. A great story and I enjoyed it, the only gripe I have is the reading of it. Around chapter 7/8 I swear I could hear the narrators tummy rumbling! Also around chapter 9 the sound quality changed. Otherwise I would recommend

The reality of detail.
The measured build up, and the un-showiness of style made the overall impact of the story unexpectedly powerful.

I enjoyed this very different book
This book was unusually sad for me & very deep, having lost my parents very young It helped me imagine seeing them & being with them again. I had thought Kaye may have been saved at the parents accident & May have been his sister with the burns on her. It was very thought provoking &such a different kind of story. I was so sad when he had to say bye to his parents again. A really really interesting read. Thank You.
