About This Book
This novel continues the world of The Last Train Station in the World, which sold over 500,000 copies, and delves deeper into loss and consolation through the final letters exchanged between those who remain and those who have departed. Set around the fantastical Aozora Post Office, where letters can be sent to heaven within forty-nine days, the story establishes a carefully constructed set of rules that allows for a more delicate and emotionally nuanced narrative than its predecessor. Across five interconnected stories, the characters find the strength to go on by expressing their true feelings to those who left a lasting mark on their lives.
An artist who helped them endure a listless life, a benefactor who gave them a place to start over, a grandmother who instilled courage, a beloved dog who was like family, and a lover who believed in them - each character carries a different story, yet they all share one reason for paying the costly postage to send a letter. It is to convey one last feeling to someone who is gone. The deeper resonance, however, lies in the replies that tell those left behind that it is okay to keep living. Filled with words of love and encouragement, these letters offer profound comfort to readers, and those who read the previous work will find themselves drawn even more deeply into the emotional power of this new novel.
