Before the Coffee Gets Cold
$18.63 online at Bookshop.org
In a small Tokyo back alley, a cafe has served carefully brewed coffee for more than a hundred years. Local legend says it also offers a chance to travel back in time. Over one summer, four customers hope to make that journey. Time travel is not simple, and rules must be followed. Most important, the trip lasts only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold. One visitor wants to confront the man who left them; another to receive a letter from a husband lost to Alzheimer's; another to see a sister one last time; another to meet the daughter they never knew. Kawaguchi's novel asks what you would change if you could go back.
