3 years later and I have now read the next novel by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Before the coffee gets cold ~ Tales from the Café. Some of the same faces appear in this story as featured in the first book and we learn more about their lives along with the 4 people who come to travel back, or forward, in time, in the hope of sharing one last moment with a friend, a mother, a lover, a wife. Another wonderful set of stories in one cover and I look forward to reading the next instalment.

I really enjoyed this book and I liked the characters and it made me re-evaluate the relationships I have with others.
I also love the theme of happiness in this book and how people can learn to grow and be happy and not be stuck in one place and change like the seasons do.
