Before we say goodbye

The fourth novel in the bestselling series that has sold millions of copies worldwide.

Patrons of the magical Funikouli Funikoula café are well aware of its reputation and its incredible ability to transport you back in time. Many customers have met old loves, reconciled with estranged relatives and visited loved ones. However, the journey is fraught with dangers and certain rules must be followed.

Readers of the beloved "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" series will meet some new characters: a husband who didn't have time to say something important, a woman who didn't get to say goodbye to her dog, a woman who couldn't respond to a marriage proposal, and a daughter who kicked her father out.

In the enchanting Before we say goodbye , with nostalgic storytelling and unique, endearing characters, Kawaguchi explores once again the question: Who would you like to meet if you could travel through time?
