“Before the Coffee Gets Cold” by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

I finished reading this last night and let me just say that this book is a little different than what I normally read. This book is divided into four sections and let me tell you………each section felt like an episode of Rod Sterling’s “Twilight Zone”, however, each section had a heart warming tale to tell. If this sounds like something you’re interested in then you should give this book a try. I enjoyed it.

Synopsis: If you could go back, who would you want to meet?In a small back alley of Tokyo, there is a caf 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. Over the course of one summer, four customers visit the caf in the hopes of making that journey. But time travel isn’t so simple, and there are rules that must be followed. Most important, the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold. Heartwarming, wistful, mysterious and delightfully quirky, Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s internationally bestselling novel explores the age-old question: What would you change if you could travel back in time?
