📖 About the Book

Before Your Memory Fades is the third book in Toshikazu Kawaguchi's beloved Before the Coffee Gets Cold series. Set in the same mysterious café where visitors can travel back in time, the story follows people who are given one precious opportunity to meet someone from their past.

As with the café's familiar rules, travelling back cannot change the present. Yet these brief encounters can provide something equally meaningful: a chance to say what was left unsaid, ask an important question, express love, or find closure.

Through a collection of touching stories, the novel explores memory, family, love, regret, loss, and the importance of human connection. Kawaguchi's gentle storytelling reminds readers that although we cannot change the past, we can change how we carry it with us.
