If you enjoy this book, we have good news: you can find the second part here and the third here. It is a pity that in the novel doesn’t make the story more complex or at least expand on character’s personal stories.īut maybe that was what he intended – a short story that is supposed to move and amuse equally, like a good romantic comedy (which is usually better left without a deep analysis…) An alternative to romantic movie or tv series which you can ready while drinking your coffee. Overall I enjoyed it and its a great book to escape into for, say, a long train journey. It’s a book that weighs more on the internal journey of a character and the emotional story-telling front than on the whole science hoopla. It’s easy to imagine this concept working perfectly on stage, with a cosy cafe as a backdrop, a few bold characters (and a few barely sketched but important ones), and some loosely told stories. ‘ Before the Coffee Gets Cold ’ is a touching tale with subtleties woven within a time-travel trope. A bit fantastic, a bit romantic, a bit naive, it’s the story of an unusual cafe and its regulars who use the magical table that can transport them back to the past – to meet their loved ones again, to repair relationships, to stop regretting.Ĭuriously, Before the coffee gets cold was written as a theater play, and only later did the author decide to turn it into a novel, which became a bestseller and was turned into a movie.
If you fancy a short and light book, Before the coffee gets cold may be what you are looking for. However, you must follow these important rules: you can only meet people who have been to the cafe – and you must drink your coffee before it gets cold. At Funiculi Funicula cafe you can travel in time.
