There is also a strict time limit rule constructed around the coffee. ‘No matter how hard one tried while back in the past, one cannot change the present’ You must not move from your allocated seat. The time travel can only take place if you’re sitting on one specific chair in the cafe. Here’s a brief summary of the travel rules: you can only meet people who have previously visited the cafe. Kazu oversees the magical activity, running through the travel guidelines before each customer begins their journey. The rules of the time travel are clearly laid out in the book. The time travellers are exclusively women who go back in time to speak to their lovers, family members, and husbands. Kawaguchi’s novel disrupts the linear narrative of time as his characters launch themselves (albeit only momentarily) into the past and future. Before the Coffee Gets Cold was translated from Japanese to English by Geoffrey Trousselo. Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s 2013 novel is an exploration of time travel and the art of coffee making.
