Before the Coffee Gets Cold - Toshikazu Kawaguchi

The cosy, heartwarming first book in the multi-million copy bestselling series, presented in beautiful hardback. What would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time? Toshikazu Kawaguchi's Before the Coffee Gets Cold, translated from Japanese, explores this age-old question . . . In a cosy back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time. Prepare to 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- 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 . . . `This book broke my heart, took the pieces, and put them back together in a messy and beautiful way. . .
