Before the Coffee Gets Cold

by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Toshikazu Kawaguchi's Before the Coffee Gets Cold imagines a Tokyo café where you can travel back in time, but only until your coffee cools. It's a quiet, sentimental novel of regret and second chances, built around four customers who can't change the past but might just change how they carry it.
