Before Your Memory Fades

Description

Before Your Memory Fades by Toshikazu Kawaguchi is the third book in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, continuing the heartwarming and thought-provoking stories centered around time travel and human emotions. This time, the mysterious café Funiculi Funicula expands its legend as a new branch in a small town in Japan offers the same opportunity: the chance to revisit the past—under the strict rule that nothing in the present can be changed, and the traveler must return before their coffee gets cold. By introducing a fresh set of visitors, the book explores new emotional dilemmas: A daughter trying to understand her late mother’s final moments. A young man longing to see his best friend one last time. A woman seeking closure with her estranged sister. A man struggling to find the courage to propose. By intertwining these deeply moving narratives, Kawaguchi once again masterfully examines themes of love, regret, and the importance of cherishing each moment. Before Your Memory Fades is a beautifully written tale that reminds readers of the power of memory, the significance of unfinished conversations, and the bittersweet nature of time.
