About this book
In a small Tokyo café, customers may travel into the past—but only by sitting in one particular chair and following a strict set of rules. Most importantly, they must return before their coffee grows cold, and nothing they do can alter the present. Four visitors enter the chair hoping to revisit a missed conversation, face an absence or express words that came too late. Their connected stories turn a simple magical premise into a gentle exploration of love, regret and communication. The episodic structure, intimate setting and clear prose make this a compact, emotionally focused read.
