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 read this after watching All of Us Strangers at LFF as I loved it so much. I really enjoyed the concept of the book. Found it a lot more fantasy vibes in the end rather than the dramatic focus of the film. A nice read but not as tender as the film IMO.
