Before the Coffee Gets Cold
Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Join for a lively discussion with local Bruins (and a few Cal Bears too) of "Before the Coffee Gets Cold. This novel tells the story of a cafe where patrons can go back in time. Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s beautiful, moving story explores the age-old question: what would you change if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
This is a peer-led group and newcomers are always welcome!
