The November read is Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. “In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time. This 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?” [from GoodReads]. The Book Club next meets after Evening Prayer on November 5.
