The third novel in the international bestselling Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, following four new customers in a cafe where customers can travel back in time.



In northern Japan, overlooking the spectacular view Hakodate Port has to offer, Cafe Donna Donna 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.



From the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Tales from the Cafe comes another story of four new customers, each of whom is hoping to take advantage of the cafe's time-travelling offer. Among some familiar faces from Toshikazu Kawaguchi's previous novels, readers will also be introduced to:



A daughter who couldn't say 'You're an idiot.’

A comedian who couldn't ask 'Are you happy?'

A younger sister who couldn't say 'Sorry.'

A young man who couldn't say 'I like you.

Before your Memory Fades by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
