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.

Bittersweet. Det er hvad jeg vil kalde denne bog. Hvis man er til anime, kan man sammenligne den med en 12 episoders sæson.

A tad slow to begin with. The premise is promising and lets say ‘the stories’ are good. Overall, it does become a bit redundant however, in the scheme of things, the book is good and message is clear and important. The audiobook didn’t do it for me, though. 3,5 -> 4

Fin fortælling, selvom handlingen er noget langsom.

The story is rather bittersweet in a wholesome way. However, it could easily have been told in under half the time! I don't know anything about asian literature, maybe this is the way stories must go, but for me it had many long boring passages.
