«Tant que le café est encore chaud» is the novel by Toshikazu Kawaguchi published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (240 pages, in French).
In a Tokyo alley hides the Funiculi Funicula café, where legend has it that a cup of its coffee allows one to return to the past. Those who try it accept two conditions: nothing can change the present, and the return is inevitable once the drink cools. Four women undergo this experience to reconcile with their past.

For readers of contemporary fiction and magical realism who enjoy intimate stories about time, memories, and second chances.
