Before your memory fade

From internationally bestselling author Toshikazu Kawaguchi comes Before Your Memory Fades, a beautifully moving installment in the beloved Coffee Before It Gets Cold series. In a quiet Tokyo café where customers can travel back in time—under very strict rules—four new visitors take a seat, each carrying regrets, longing, and unspoken words. But the journey to the past lasts only as long as the coffee remains warm, and nothing in the present can be changed. Tender, reflective, and emotionally powerful, this novel explores love, loss, family bonds, and the fragile beauty of memory. Through gentle storytelling and heartfelt moments, Kawaguchi reminds readers that while we cannot rewrite the past, we can find healing in understanding it. Perfect for readers who enjoy Japanese fiction, magical realism, and deeply emotional, thought-provoking stories.
