My review from reading Toshikazu Kawaguchi's Tales from the Café in 2020 ~ "A very intriguing ghost-like novel of 4 different yet interlinking stories. I am not normally someone who would read this genre of book but I really loved it!"
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.
