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 each of whom is hoping to take advantage of Cafe

familiar to readers of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s previous novel, we will be
introduced to:The man who goes back to see his best friend who died 22 years
agoThe son who was unable to attend his own mother’s funeralThe man who
travelled to see the girl who he could not marryThe old detective who never
gave his wife that 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.

change if you could travel back in time?
