Before the Coffee Gets ColdToshikazu Kawaguchi

Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s Before the Coffee Gets Cold is a tender, bittersweet story about love, loss, regret, and the words left unsaid. In a small Tokyo café, customers can travel back in time—but only under a strict set of rules, and they must return before their coffee gets cold. Through four deeply moving stories, the novel explores how revisiting the past can change the way we understand the present.
