BEFORE THE COFFEE GETS COLD

Before the Coffee Gets Cold - Toshikazu Kawaguchi - 9781529029581

This book explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time?

More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than a hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the unbelievable chance to travel back in time.

In this book, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the cafe’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by Alzheimer's, see their sister one last time, and meet the daughter they never got the chance to know. But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the cafe, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .
