In a hidden Tokyo café with a century-old tradition, the aroma of coffee mingles with whispers of an extraordinary secret: time travel.
Four visitors arrive, each seeking to revisit a moment from their past. But this gift comes with rules—strict, unyielding rules. The journey lasts only as long as a cup of coffee stays warm, and nothing done in the past will change the present.
As these travelers confront lost loves, forgotten promises, and long-closed chapters, they discover that even a fleeting encounter can change everything. Heartwarming and thought-provoking, Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s internationally acclaimed novel is a tender exploration of regret, reconciliation, and the enduring power of human connection.
What would you say if you had one chance to speak across time?
