Histoire
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.

Histoire
Almost every afternoon, the Woman in the Purple Skirt sits on the same park bench, where she eats a cream bun while the local children make a game of trying to get her attention. Unbeknownst to her, she is being watched—by the Woman in the Yellow Cardigan, who is always perched just out of sight, monitoring which buses she takes, what she eats, whom she speaks to.

Marlinchen spends her days divining secrets in exchange for rubles and trying to placate her tyrannical, xenophobic father, who keeps his daughters sequestered from the outside world.

Growing up Black in rural North Carolina, Ray McMillian’s life is already mapped out. But Ray has a gift and a dream—he’s determined to become a world-class professional violinist, and nothing will stand in his way. Not his mother, who wants him to stop making such a racket; not the fact that he can’t afford a violin suitable to his talents; not even the racism inherent in the world of classical music.

Histoire
Yunjae was born with a brain condition called alexithymia that makes it hard for him to feel emotions like fear or anger. He does not have friends - the two almond-shaped neurons located deep in his brain have seen to that - but his devoted mother and grandmother aren’t fazed by his condition. Their little home above his mother’s used bookstore is decorated with colorful Post-it notes that remind him when to smile, when to say "thank you", and when to laugh. Yunjae grows up content, even happy, with his small family in this quiet, peaceful space.

Description
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?

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.

Beautiful story
Beautiful and unique story that takes you on a pleasant ride. Some parts were a bit too slow and disengaging for my taste. But overall a very enjoyable read.

Really Boring
I couldn’t wait for this story to end. Doesn’t get to the point at all. Disappointing.
