Tales from the Cafe : Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Hardcover | Fiction / Magical Realism In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café 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 . . . From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold comes Tales from the Cafe, a story of four new customers, each of whom is hoping to take advantage of Cafe Funiculi Funicula's time-travelling offer. Among some faces that will be familiar to readers of Toshikazu Kawaguchi s previous novel, we will be introduced to: • The man who goes back to see his best friend who died 22 years ago • The son who was unable to attend his own mother's funeral • The man who travelled to see the girl who he could not marry • The old detective who never gave his wife that gift.
