# Before Your Memory Fades - Hardcover

by **Toshikazu Kawaguchi** (Author)

**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.**  
  
On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is fabled for its dazzling views of Hakodate port. But that's not all. Like the charming Tokyo cafe Funiculi Funicula, Cafe Donna Donna offers its customers the extraordinary experience of travelling through 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 begrudges her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned
-   A comedian who aches for his beloved and their shared dreams
-   A younger sister whose grief has become all-consuming
-   A young man who realizes his love for his childhood friend too late

  
Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot and featuring signature heart-warming characters and wistful storytelling, in _Before Your Memory Fades_, Kawaguchi once again invites the reader to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?
