Before your memory fades. Toshikazu Kawaguchi. 2023.

Book 3 in the series.

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. Cafe Donna Donna offers its customers the extraordinary experience of travelling through time and Nagare and Kanu are back to guide four new customers. 

There are rules to follow: you can only meet people who have visited the cafe, you must stay seated in your chair and most importantly, you must return to the present before the coffee gets cold. 

we meet: the daughter who resents her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned; the comedian who aches for his beloved and their shared dreams; the sister whose grief has become all- consuming; and the man who realised his love for his childhood friend.
