Before Your Memory Fades

Product Information

People’s true feelings are not in plain sight. The other person might not be thinking anything, but there is a tendency to just assume what the other is feeling without reaching out and asking.” I really enjoy these stories and seeing the time travelers grow as they tell their stories. These characters are Japanese, so don't expect them to act the way we do here in the west. The stories are a little repetitive, but to me, it's not bothersome. The rules must be shared with each traveller's in each story. If you want something to pull at your heart, this book and series is for you! I can't wait for the next one! The wonderful experience of a heartwarming book, in my case it was one story at a time, I didn't want to mix them up. There are many crossroads in life. All regrets stem from what happened at one moment we never imagined would happen to us. When our own action brings about an unexpected result, how can we not experience huge regret? After all, do we ever get another shot?”

I would say that this series is a great starting point if you want to start reading Japanese literature. It is both beautiful and easy to read, has amazing prose and sentence structure whilst still being simple to comprehend. It is a beautiful book, and an even more beautiful series, which I thoroughly enjoyed and I am sad I have to let it go, at least for now. PDF / EPUB File Name: Before_Your_Memory_Fades_-_Toshikazu_Kawaguchi.pdf, Before_Your_Memory_Fades_-_Toshikazu_Kawaguchi.epubFrom the author of Before the Coffee Gets Cold and Tales from the Cafe comes another heartfelt story of lost souls hoping to take advantage of the cafe's time-travelling offer. Among some familiar faces, readers will also be introduced to:

Meet more wonderful characters in the next captivating novel in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, Before We Say Goodbye, releasing November 14, 2023! Kawaguchi once again touches upon themes as love, loss, grief, and finding joy again after loss. The stories will definitely touch your heart. I liked the interactions between the characters, and their stories.The book has four short stories that will pull at your heart, that all deal with loss/grief/regret. One of these does deal with the death of a pet. These are stories that tell you to go out, live life, tell people you love them, etc. Still in love with Kazu’s personality and what a twist to know that she has a daughter now who inherited her magical touch of serving the cup of coffee. I don’t fancy Reiji’s character that much but the last story of him and Nanako really gets my heart broken a bit. Light and delightful ways of writing despite how the author still having that same writing habit like before; to repetitively info dumping stuff he already mentioned in each story. Bit hopeful too for the old gentleman ghost as I thought one of the story would be about him but none yet; was wondering as well whether he was the same ghost from Café Funiculi Funicula or a different one(?) but I guess I need to wait the translated Book 4 to read his closure, maybe? On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is fabled for its dazzling views of Hakodate port. But that's not all. Like the charming Tokyo cafe Funiculi Funicula, Cafe Donna Donna offers its customers the extraordinary experience of travelling through time.
