But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: The Chance Of Time Travel with T&D. IN A NUTSHELL~ There is a cafe in Tokyo which has been serving brewed coffee for more than hundred years. But this time not just the writing but the plot itself gravitated me towards reading this book. This is my 2nd Japanese author after Murakami & there is something about Japan whether its culture, technology or peculiar writing style of its Authors that just fascinates me.
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. In Before the Coffee Gets Cold, 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 early onset Alzheimer's, see their sister one last time, and meet the daughter they never got the chance to know. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.
Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, Toshikazu Kawaguchi's beautiful, moving Before the Coffee Gets Cold explores the age-old question: what would you change 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 one hundred years.
