| Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi #BookReview |
An unassuming basement café in Tokyo - Funiculi Funicula -
lets you travel in time.
But the opportunity comes with certain conditions.
Only one seat in the café allows the time
travel.
No matter what you do when you go back, your
present will not change.
You must return back before your coffee turns
cold.
With time travel at its heart, Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s
Before the Coffee Gets Cold is a thought-provoking exploration of
time, regret, and the human longing for second chances, served in four
delicately crafted short stories.
I'd been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Book after
book failed to capture my attention, leaving a trail of unfinished books in
their wake.
I was on the lookout for something light, comforting, and
engaging, when I picked up Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu
Kawaguchi. It proved to be the perfect antidote to my reading fatigue. The book is easy-going in its narrative and endearing characters had my attention from the very first
page, making it a breeze to read.
