The million-copy bestselling series about a small Japanese cafe that offers its visitors the chance to travel back in time.
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s moving Before the Coffee Gets Cold, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, 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 small 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.
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 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 . . .
Continue the beautiful storytelling with Tales from the Cafe, Before Your Memory Fades, and Before We Say Goodbye.

Lovely stories of four people being given an opportunity to travel in time. I did not, however, enjoy the reader's intonation.

Jeg forstår ikke entusiasmen for denne boka. Jeg sliter med å føle noe som helst for karakterene og den er generelt veldig kjedelig og langtrukket. Jeg vet ikke om det er et problem med oversettelsen, men den gjentar seg selv ofte (at to setninger så og si sier det samme rett etter hverandre), og at den sier i stedet for viser. Spennende konsept, dårlig utførelse.

wholesome, feels like a warm hug, makes you crave coffee.

Tematikken er kjempefin, men boken blir for treig i sine beskrivelser og lite spennende. Dette er en bok en kan legge fra seg og gjentatte ganger prøve å lese ferdig, uten å lykkes.
