But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel in time. In Before the coffee gets cold, we meet four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’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 early onset Alzheimer’s - see their sister one last time - 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 . . . Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving Before the coffee gets cold explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?[Bokinfo]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Toshikazu Kawaguchi\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eJapan, Modern \u0026amp; contemporary fiction (post c 1945), Fantasy, Fiction in translation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 8 Oct 2026 by Pan Macmillan.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Toshikazu Kawaguchi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57529222070650,"sku":"9781037416095","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9781037416095.jpg?v=1794054651","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/nl\/products\/before-the-coffee-gets-cold-9781037416095","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
