The million-copy bestselling series about a cosy Japanese cafe that offers its visitors the chance to travel back in time. Toshikazu Kawaguchis uplifting Before the Coffee Gets Cold, translated from Japanese, 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 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 the next four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the cafes 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 . . . This book broke my heart, took the pieces, and put them back together in a messy and beautiful way. . . ' -@well.read.woman on Instagram Continue the beautifully moving storytelling with Tales from the Cafe, Before Your Memory Fades, Before We Say Goodbye and Before We Forget Kindness - all out now!

  1. Perfekt för dig som älskar kaffe och böcker!
    boksidormedkaffe, 30 maj 2023

    På ett litet café utan fönster i Tokyo finns en särskild plats att sitta på där man blir serverad en kopp kaffe och får möjlighet att resa tillbaka i tiden men bara så länge kaffet är varmt. Vi får träffa personal och stammisar på caféet och vara med om några av dessa tidsresor, den ena mer gripande än den andra och det är klart man ställer sig frågan¿ Vilken stund hade jag valt att resa tillbaka till, om så för bara några minuter?

    Tidigt i boken kom några stereotypa personbeskrivnin... Läs hela recensionen
