Sur le flanc du mont Hakodate, au nord du Japon, le café Dona Dona est réputé pour sa vue imprenable sur le port de la ville. Mais surtout, comme au café Funiculi Funicula à Tokyo, il est possible pour ses clients d'y vivre une expérience extraordinaire : voyager dans le passé, le temps d'une tasse de café. On y rencontre Yayoi, une jeune fille qui en veut à ses parents défunts d'avoir fait d'elle une orpheline ; Todoroki, un comédien se languissant de son épouse et de leurs rêves communs ; Reiko, submergée par la disparition de sa soeur ; et Reiji, qui comprend trop tard à quel point il aime son amie d'enfance... Autant d'âmes sincères goûtant à la saveur de moments perdus, et qui apprennent à envisager l'avenir avec plus de sérénité. Après Le Café du temps retrouvé et Tant que le café est encore chaud, Kawaguchi confirme, avec ce troisième roman réconfortant, son talent de conteur.
Finesse du propos, délicatesse et humanité : la magie de Kawaguchi réside dans cette douce empathie qu'il transmet au lecteur. Claire Julliard, L'Obs.

Savourer le présent jusqu'à la dernière goutte :
c'est ce que propose le café des au revoir.
« Je voulais que tu saches que mon bonheur, c'est à toi que je le dois. » Ce sont les paroles de Monji, décidé à tout dire à sa femme plongée dans le coma. Comme lui, ceux qui fréquentent le café Funiculi Funicula espèrent y réparer le passé. Une tasse de café leur permettra de voyager dans le temps et d'adresser à l'absent le message d'amour qu'ils n'ont pas su formuler à l'époque. Ainsi, Hikari qui se sent coupable de n'avoir pas répondu à la demande en mariage de son petit ami, disparu depuis ; Michiko, hantée par le souvenir de son père qu'elle a rejeté ; Sunao, qui pleure son chien adoré ... Sauront-il dire au revoir à leurs aimés et, ce faisant, se réconcilier avec eux-mêmes ? Car pour honorer la mémoire des absents, il faut d'abord trouver la paix en soi.
Initiée avec Tant que le café est encore chaud, la suite d'une série au succès international, un roman plein de poésie et d'émotion. -
