À propos de cet audio
Over One Million Copies Sold
Now an International Best Seller
If you could go back, who would you want to meet?
In a small back alley of Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than 100 years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee - the chance to travel back in time.
Over the course of one summer, four customers visit the café in the hopes of making that journey. But time travel isn’t so simple, and there are rules that must be followed. Most important, the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold.
Heartwarming, wistful, mysterious, and delightfully quirky, Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s internationally best-selling novel explores the age-old question: What would you change if you could travel back in time?

Histoire
Liz Rocher is coming home . . . reluctantly. As a Black woman, Liz doesn’t exactly have fond memories of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a predominantly white town. But her best friend is getting married, so she braces herself for a weekend of awkward, passive-aggressive reunions. Liz has grown, though; she can handle whatever awaits her. But on the night of the wedding, somewhere between dancing and dessert, the newlyweds’ daughter, Caroline, disappears—and the only thing left behind is a piece of white fabric covered in blood.

Tucked away in an old building at the end of a narrow alley in Kyoto, the Kokoro Clinic for the Soul can only be found by people who are struggling in their lives and genuinely need help.

Patients are often puzzled by this unconventional prescription, but when they “take” their cat for the recommended duration, they witness profound transformations in their lives, guided by the playful, empathetic, occasionally challenging yet endearing cats.

Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her—what to call it?—depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends, performing the calmness her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favourite street food: the spicy rice cake, tteokbokki?

But the preparations are interrupted when a guest is found dead in one of the Castle bedrooms.

Authors June Hayward and Athena Liu were supposed to be twin rising stars: same year at Yale, same debut year in publishing. But Athena’s a cross-genre literary darling, and June didn’t even get a paperback release. Nobody wants stories about basic white girls, June thinks. So when June witnesses Athena’s death in a freak accident, she acts on impulse: she steals Athena’s just-finished masterpiece, an experimental novel about the unsung contributions of Chinese laborers to the British and French war efforts during World War I.

We should have known the end was near. So begins Imbolo Mbue’s powerful second novel, How Beautiful We Were. Set in the fictional African village of Kosawa, it tells of a people living in fear amid environmental degradation wrought by an American oil company. Pipeline spills have rendered farmlands infertile. Children are dying from drinking toxic water. Promises of cleanup and financial reparations to the villagers are made - and ignored. The country’s government, led by a brazen dictator, exists to serve its own interests.

Emotional Magical Realism
The time travel premise of this novel is unique, you can only travel back in time but cannot leave the chair you are sitting in and only have the time that it takes before your cup of coffee goes cold. working with those (and other) challenging time travelling parameters this is a novel with four interlinked stories of people that did the short visits in time at a time of huge personal emotional devestation.
It is a beautifully written novel, slow moving, but the traditional values of the characters meant that I was almost irritated (especially the last story where I failed to see why the character made the choices she did) and therefore I found the emotions too over wrought/maudlin, and the optimistic endings too "happy ever after".
Narration was truly superb.

Basic writing
I’m not sure if the feelings got lost in translation? The premise was good but the storytelling was basic and everything was spelled out for the reader, leaving nothing to the imagination.
The husband/wife story touched me the most and did stir emotions.

Sweet but trite . Peopl
1. Why do you pronounce cafe like that! Ugh!
2. The language was very stilted. Perhaps this is because Japanese language and manners are formal as compared to Canadians? But still there were a lot of cliches. I prefer richer more nuanced language or maybe just less stiff snd simplistic characters.
3. Sweet but I could not relate at all. Usually at the end of a book or tv program I am a little sad to “say goodbye” to characters I really like. With this book I thought, “Thank God it’s finally over.”
