Description

At Café Funiculi Funicula, a cup of coffee offers visitors the extraordinary chance to revisit a moment from the past—but only if they follow the café’s strict rules. In this latest collection of interconnected stories, four new guests seek the words, farewells, and answers they were unable to give in the present. With tenderness and quiet poignancy, the novel explores love, grief, regret, family, and the enduring power of human connection. Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s wistful, gently magical storytelling offers a moving meditation on what it means to say goodbye—and what may still be changed by the chance to speak.
