The Book

In a small Tokyo back-street café, there's one seat where you can travel back in time, but only for as long as your coffee stays warm. Before the Coffee Gets Cold follows four visitors who each take that seat, hoping for one more conversation with someone they've lost or left.

Written by Toshikazu Kawaguchi and translated from the Japanese, it's a quiet, tender story about regret, love and the moments we let pass. Short chapters and a gentle pace make it the kind of book you finish in an afternoon and think about for weeks.
