The series growing in popularity with millions of sales. The moving "Before Your Memory Fades" by Toshikazu Kawaguchi, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the timeless question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you like to meet, perhaps for the last time?

On the slope of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is renowned for its enchanting view of Hakodate's harbor. But it's not just that. Cafe Donna Donna offers its customers the unique experience of time travel.

From the author of "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" and "Tales from the Cafe" comes another heart-filled story of lost souls hoping to take advantage of the cafe's offer for time travel. Among some familiar faces, readers will also meet:

• The daughter who is angry with her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned
• The comedian who aches for his beloved and their shared dreams
• The younger sister whose grief has become consuming
• The young man who realizes his love for his childhood friend too late . . .

Including Kawaguchi's characteristic melancholic narrative, "Before Your Memory Fades" is full of heart and emotions. Discover the rest of the series set in the charming Tokyo cafe, with "Before the Coffee Gets Cold," "Tales from the Cafe," "Before We Say Goodbye," and "Before We Forget Kindness."
