The Book Club book

Before The Coffee Gets Cold is the cozy, heartwarming first book in a hugely successful international bestselling series.

If you could could travel back in time who would you want to meet again? There's a cafe
in Tokyo that offers its customers more than just coffee - it offers the chance to travel back in time.  In this course each week we will discuss a different visitor to the coffee shop who wants to go back in time to:

  • face the man who abandoned them, 
  • get a letter from their husband, whose memory has been erased by Alzheimer’s,
  • visit their sister for the final time, 
  • encounter the daughter they never knew

However, with time travel there are risks.  They cannot leave the cafe, and they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .


 Geoff says:

"This is an easy to read, sweet book that is also comforting, gentle and emotionally rich.  Who hasn't wished they could talk to someone, one last time?"
