Description

About the Book:

In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop, Café Funiculi Funicula, 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 who hope to take advantage of the café’s time-traveling offer. Among some faces familiar to readers of Kawaguchi’s previous novel, we are 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 traveled to see the girl he could not marry.
• The old detective who never gave his wife that special gift.

This beautiful, simple tale tells the story of people who must face up to their past in order to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi once again invites readers to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?
