Goodbye Café - Volume 4

Savoring the present to the last drop:

this is what the farewell café offers.

"I wanted you to know that I owe my happiness to you." These are the words of Monji, determined to tell everything to his wife in a coma. Like him, those who frequent the Funiculi Funicula café hope to mend the past there. A cup of coffee will allow them to travel back in time and deliver the message of love to the absent that they failed to formulate at the time. Thus, Hikari, who feels guilty for not having responded to her boyfriend's marriage proposal, who has since disappeared; Michiko, haunted by the memory of her father whom she rejected; Sunao, who mourns her beloved dog... Will they be able to say goodbye to their loved ones and, in doing so, reconcile with themselves? Because to honor the memory of the absent, one must first find peace within oneself.

Begun with Before the Coffee Gets Cold, the sequel to an internationally successful series, a novel full of poetry and emotion.
