If you had the opportunity to go back in time, would you take it?
What would you say if you could go back in time, but only for a moment before your coffee got cold? One small café, named after the famous Neapolitan song Funiculi funicula, is said to have a place that will let you do just that.
But there's a catch. You can only meet people who have visited the café in the past. Whatever you do, it won't change the present. When you are in the past, you must not move away from the place. Your time in the past begins with the pouring of the coffee and ends when the coffee gets cold. And the list of strange rules doesn't end there.
Yet there are some people who, when they hear about this opportunity, decide to take it. The book offers four stories of people who have attempted time travel and their poignant denouements:
- Lovers: the story of a woman who broke up with the man she wanted to marry- Husband and wife: the story of a man losing his memory and his wife, a nurse- Sisters: the story of a woman who ran away from home and her younger sister who loved food- Mother and daughter: the story of a pregnant woman who works in a café
