Our next book is Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Japanese playwright Toshikazu Kawaguchi. This evocative English-language debut is set in a tiny Tokyo café where time travel is possible. In four connected tales, lovers and family members take turns sitting in the chair that allows a person to travel back in time for only as long as it takes a single cup of coffee to cool​​​​​​​.

You may find ebook and audiobook versions are available with your Burlington Public Library card on Hoopla. There are also print copies available at the customer service desk.

We will meet to discuss the book on Thursday, September 16th, at noon at the Burlington Library.
