The Lantern of Lost Memories by Sanaka Hiiragi [Grand Central Publishing #gifted]

In The Lantern of Lost Memories, Hirasaka guides those who have died in this time between - where they look through photos of their lives to choose the ones that will be put together in the "spinning lantern of memories." Visitors to this photo studio can also choose to return to one day in their lives to retake a photo from their past. Readers meet three of Hirasaka's visitors and get to walk down their memory lanes as we also ponder over Hirasaka's missing memories and past. This was a beautiful, nostalgic and lovely novel that imagines the most wonderful rest stop between life and death.
