Time Travel, Coffee, and Stories: Don't Miss Out on Reading This Book!

Hello, in this blog post, I will talk to you about the book "Before the Coffee Gets Cold". This book is the first novel by Japanese author Toshikazu Kawaguchi. The book tells the stories of a cafe that can travel through time and the customers who come there.

The main character of the book is a cafe located in the back streets of Tokyo, with only three tables and six chairs. This cafe has a special feature: if you sit in a particular chair and drink coffee, you can travel to any point in the past. But to do this, you must follow some rules:

Rule 1: Whatever you do in the past, you cannot change the present.

Rule 2: When you go back in time, you cannot leave the cafe.

Rule 3: You can only stay in the past until your coffee gets cold.

The book tells the time travel experiences of four different customers who come to this cafe. Each of them wants to take advantage of this opportunity due to a regret, longing, or curiosity they experienced in the past. But what does this journey bring them? Since they cannot change the past, do they just learn something about themselves? Or does confronting the past make them happier?

The book creates both a fantastic and emotional atmosphere. Thanks to the author's fluent and simple language, you can easily read the book. At the end of the book, there is a section where the author talks about his own life and the writing process of the book. In this section, the author explains how he came up with the idea for the book and what coffee means to him.

The book does not ask the question of what you would change if you could travel through time. On the contrary, it shows that time travel can change you. Each of the characters in the book begins to know themselves better in this journey of reckoning with the past. Some relieve their regrets, some satisfy their longings, and some satisfy their curiosity.

The book emphasizes that we cannot intervene in the flow of life, but we can live today better by accepting the past. Coffee is used as both a tool and a symbol in this process. Drinking coffee makes time stop and flow at the same time. While drinking coffee, we can remember the past and focus on today.

While reading the book, you may feel like you're in that cafe. Maybe you also want to sit in that chair and sip your coffee. But remember, you have to go back before the coffee gets cold.
