"In a back alley in Tokyo, there is a cafe that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. Local legend says that his shop offers something else besides coffee -- the chance to travel back in time. With faces both familiar and new, Tales from the Cafe follows the story of four patrons who visit to take advantage of cafe Funiculi Funicula's time-travelling offer and revisit moments with family, friends and lovers. Each one must face up to the past to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi's wistful and heartwarming new novel once again invites the reader to ask themselves, "What would you do if you could travel back in time?"
