4 Books Toshikazu Kawaguchi Book Bundle Collection Set: Before The Coffee Gets Cold, Tales From The Cafe, Before Your Memory Fades & Before We Say Goodbye

4 Books Toshikazu Kawaguchi Book Bundle Collection Set

This captivating 4-book collection set is from the author of the international bestseller Toshikazu Kawaguchi. It brings together all four titles from the beloved Before the Coffee Gets Cold Series. The series explores the question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? In a small 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 this shop offers something else besides coffee—the chance to travel back in time. But time travel isn't simple, and there are rules that must be followed. The most important rule is that the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold.

Book 1: Before the Coffee Gets Cold

Meet four visitors, each hoping to travel back in time to:

• Confront the man who left them.
• Receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early-onset Alzheimer's.
• See their sister one last time.
• Meet the daughter they never got the chance to know.

Book 2: Tales From The Cafe

This book follows four new customers who hope to travel back in time at Café Funiculi Funicula. With faces both familiar and new, these patrons revisit moments with family, friends, and lovers, each one needing to face their past in order to move on with their lives. Kawaguchi’s wistful and heartwarming novel once again invites the reader to ask themselves, "What would you do if you could travel back in time?"

Book 3: Before Your Memory Fades

On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is fabled for its dazzling views of Hakodate port. But that's not all. Like the charming Tokyo cafe Funiculi Funicula, Cafe Donna Donna offers its customers the extraordinary experience of travelling through time. This book introduces four new customers with something they wish they had said differently: a daughter who begrudges her deceased parents, a comedian who aches for his beloved, a younger sister whose grief has become all-consuming, and a young man who realizes his love too late.

Book 4: Before We Say Goodbye

The regulars at the magical Café Funiculi Funicula are well acquainted with its famous legend. In this installment, readers will once again be introduced to a new set of visitors, each hoping to travel to the past to find closure: a husband with something important left to say, a woman who couldn't bid her dog farewell, a woman who couldn't answer a proposal, and a daughter who drove her father away. In this beautifully haunting novel, Kawaguchi asks: Who would you visit if you could travel through time?
