Tales from the Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
5.0
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I read the first book in this series a few months back and I was overjoyed to be able to jump back in with this second instalment. These books are almost comfort reads for me. They're the perfect size to binge in a day and the stories are just beautiful. The way the deal with loss, love, joy and sadness is almost simple and human, they're not hugely dramatic or over the top, they're just simple, beautiful life.
We get 4 more stories in this volume, and of course the cafe workers and regulars are there still, so we get to continue to learn about their stories and their lives. They make for great framework with their compassion and the understanding of those who wish to time travel.
Interestingly we get to see someone travel forward in time, which was fascinating to see the reasons behind this and how it works out. And each story always feels fresh and human. I just can't get enough of them.
This is the perfect read to curl up under a blanket and enjoy with a cup of tea. They're just so simple and beautiful and I'm so in love with these books.
