![]() ![]() This novel tells the story of four of those people, traveling back to speak to a dead relative one more time, to see a partner before the grip of Alzheimer’s takes hold, to have one final word with a previous lover, and, in one special case, traveling forwards to meet the daughter they’ll never otherwise have the chance to know.ĭespite the concept of this novel being one that could lend itself to grand adventures and large dramas, I was surprised to find that it had a very quiet, understated sort of vibe. Though there are many rules to follow, like having to be seated at a certain table, not being able to leave the café, and only being able to stay in that different time for the however long it takes the coffee to get cold (and then being sure to drink it all in order to return), as well as knowing that nothing one does in the past can change the present, there are still those who wish to travel. It also gives visitors a chance to travel in time. There’s a small, non-descript café in Tokyo that doesn’t only serve coffee. ![]()
