Tales from the cafe : a novel Cover Image Book

Tales from the cafe : a novel / Toshikazu Kawaguchi ; translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot.

Kawaguchi, Toshikazu, 1971- (author.). Trousselot, Geoffrey, (translator.).

Summary:

In a back alley in Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee -- the chance to travel back in time. With faces both familiar and new, Tales from the Cafe follows the story of four patrons who visit to take advantage of café Funiculi Funicula's time-traveling offer and revisit moments with family, friends and lovers. Each one must face up to the past to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi's wistful and heartwarming new novel once again invites the reader to ask themselves, 'What would you do if you could travel back in time?'.
