Before We Forget Kindness

The enchanting fifth book in the multi-million-copy bestselling series about a cosy cafe that offers its visitors the chance to travel back in time.

Translated from Japanese, in Before We Forget Kindness four new guests enter the mysterious Tokyo café, each with a secret wish, each hoping to go back in time to fulfil it as their coffee is poured . . .

- The father who could not allow his daughter to get married
- A woman who couldn't give Valentine's Day chocolates to her loved one
- A boy who wants to show his smile to his divorced parents
- A wife holding a child with no name . . .

The incomparable Toshikazu Kawaguchi introduces us to the dreams, wishes and deeply emotional encounters of these four guests, all travelling back in time to find comfort, peace, and a newfound happiness.

But, as ever, they must return before the coffee gets cold . . .
