About this listen
The million-copy bestselling series.
Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s touching Before Your Memory Fades, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? More importantly, who would you want to meet, maybe for one last time?
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.
From 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:
The daughter who begrudges 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 all-consuming
The young man who realizes his love for his childhood friend too late . . .
Featuring Kawaguchi's signature wistful storytelling, Before Your Memory Fades is full of heart and emotion.
Catch up on the rest of the series with Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Tales from the Cafe, Before We Say Goodbye, and Before We Forget Kindness.

⭐ 3.5/5 ⭐
Audiobook narrated by Kevin Shen. Translation by Geoffrey Trousselot.
More from the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series. This time we follow events at a similar café in a different location. As always, there's conflicted customers and time travel.
- This one was certainly as emotional as the previous two book though I'd say less heart-wrenching. Certainly bittersweet and good at provoking feelings but less of the types of stories I'd recommend checking out content warnings for.
- We become reacquainted with some familiar staff and some events that tie things together with the first book. We also get to meet some new characters which was good fun. I especially enjoyed Sachi.
- The stories of this book are woven together by Sachi reading from a book of difficult questions, usually beginning with "If the world were to end tomorrow..." I enjoyed this premise and it did bring the otherwise pretty unrelated chapters together nicely.
Slightly different from it's predecessors but similarly emotive.
