Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, translated by Geoffrey Trousselot [Magical Realism]

Like a nice cup of coffee on a rainy day, this book warmed my heart and put a smile on my face. Split into four parts, I fell in love with the story and the little lessons woven into each narrative. It’s bittersweet and endearing to see characters from all walks of life try to reconnect with loved ones. They might not be able to fix the past, but they can find some closure along the way in this sweet yet heartbreaking read.
