Nestled on the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Café Donna Donna is famed for its stunning views of Hakodate port. But this café offers more than just scenic beauty. Like the charming Tokyo café Funiculi Funicula, Café Donna Donna provides its patrons with an extraordinary time travel experience.
From the author of “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” and “Tales from the Cafe” comes “Before Your Memory Fades,” a captivating story of four new customers seeking to take advantage of the café’s time-travel offer. Among familiar faces from Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s previous novels, readers will meet:
– A daughter resentful of her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned.
– A comedian yearning for his beloved and their shared dreams.
– A younger sister overwhelmed by grief.
– A young man who realizes his love for his childhood friend too late.
Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, this novel features Kawaguchi’s signature heartwarming characters and wistful storytelling, once again inviting readers to ponder: what would you change if you could travel back in time?
