Synopsis

Lanterns Between Us
When Memory Drifts, Love Keeps the Light Afloat

From the icy shores of Sweden to the sunlit beaches of Florida, Lanterns Between Us is a tender, wry, and luminous novel about memory, misdirection, and the meandering ways love finds us.

Särkilä Thorellqvist—once a best-selling author from the fishing village of Björkviken—now lives quietly on Longboat Key, Florida with Snoopy, his loyal service dog and occasional moral compass.

Seeking purpose, he applies for a writing job at The Bark Foundation for Global Harmony. But his emails take the scenic route and reach Marisol, a junior cashier at the local UPS Store—who, inexplicably, starts to write back.

Each time Särkilä believes he’s finally been invited to a job interview, life—or gravity—intervenes. His apologetic emails become dispatches from calamity: fifty-four days marooned on a mangrove island with only coconuts and a dog for counsel; an elevator ride that turns near-mystical when the doors refuse to open; and a near-fatal brush with an antique uranium lamp that briefly turns his condo into a glow-in-the-dark art installation.

Through it all, he stays tethered by two threads: Marisol’s patient replies and the calls he sends across the ocean to his sister, Liv, whose memory drifts in and out like the tide.

Part comedy, part heartache, and wholly human, Lanterns Between Us tells the story about what happens when the mind wonders—a reminder that when memory drifts, love keeps the light afloat.
