Before Memory Fades: A Novel (Coffee Gets Cold Series Book 3)

The third novel in the internationally bestselling series Before the Coffee Gets Cold follows four new customers at Cafe Donna Donna, where patrons can journey back in time. Located on the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is renowned for its breathtaking views of Hakodate port. However, it offers more than just a picturesque setting. Similar to the popular Tokyo cafe Funiculi Funicula, Cafe Donna Donna provides the unique opportunity for customers to travel through time.

Written by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Tales from the Cafe, Before Your Memory Fades introduces four new customers eager to experience the cafe's time-travelling abilities. Alongside some familiar characters from Kawaguchi’s previous works, readers will meet:

• A daughter struggling with resentment towards her late parents for leaving her orphaned
• A comedian yearning for his lost love and their unfulfilled dreams
• A younger sister consumed by grief
• A young man who realizes his feelings for his childhood friend too late

Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, Before Your Memory Fades brings to life heartwarming characters and poignant storytelling. Kawaguchi once again prompts readers to contemplate what changes they would make if given the chance to journey back in time.
