Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Part One Paperback Book, By: Toshikazu Kawaguchi

You can travel through time, but you are not supposed to exceed the time it takes for the coffee cup to cool down. The above is a rumor about a coffee shop in Tokyo. The details of the rumor are that whoever sits on a specific chair in it can travel through time, whether past or future. The name of the coffee shop is Vincula, but time travel has four conditions: Only people who have previously visited the coffee shop can be met. Time travel cannot affect the current situation. The person sitting on the chair cannot be forced to leave it. When the person stands up, anyone who wants to travel can sit in his place. Time travel begins as soon as the coffee is poured and ends as soon as it cools down. Despite these four rules, people feel curious to visit the coffee shop. The novel "Before You Drink Coffee" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi presents four cases in which four people decided to travel through time: Two lovers: A woman let her lover travel and get away from her, so she regretted it and decided to travel through time. A couple: The man got Alzheimer's and forgot his wife, so the wife decided to travel through time to clarify something with him. Two Sisters: The younger sister is killed in a car accident and the older sister decides to visit her Mother and Her Newborn: The story of a sick pregnant mother who fears for the future of her pregnancy. Kawaguchi’s delicate gaze at the beauty of fleeting things makes reading this work a moving journey that deeply immerses us in the desire to hold on to the past. This strange novel will stir up many things hidden in the readers’ souls.
