Cafe. Waiting. Love.
by Giddens Ko
€ 18.75
ISBN: 9781035434237
'Dreams that are laughable when said aloud are often the ones most worth pursuing. Even if you fall . . .'
In a small cafe in Hsinchu, Taiwan, everyone is waiting for something. Whether it's love, a second chance or a sign of something greater. More than just an ordinary coffee shop; this is a place for serendipitous encounters.
Si-ying, a young woman working at the cafe, harbours a secret crush on the handsome Tse-yu, who regularly visits with a new girlfriend in tow. However, her life takes a turn when she befriends the quirky and earnest Ah Tuo. He takes her on adventures and introduces her to an eclectic mix of people who aren't what they seem to be - a triad boss who is a cinephile and a laundrette owner who whips up exquisite dishes worthy of Michelin stars (but only on a Sunday!).
Feelings are complicated, Si-ying learns.
Within the cafe's walls, moments of reflection reveal profound truths. Amidst the wait for someone else, Si-ying makes her most significant journey: the one to discovering herself.
** Translated from the Mandarin Chinese by Shanna Tan **
