Before your memory fades / Toshikazu Kawaguchi ; translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot.

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. 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.' With his signature heart-warming characters and immersive storytelling, in Before Your Memory Fades, Toshikazu Kawaguchi once again invites the reader to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?
