Before We Forget Kindness Synopsis

The million-copy bestselling series.

The fifth book in the spectacular, million-copy bestselling Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, with a fresh bunch of customers in a special Tokyo cafe hoping to go back in time.


Translated from Japanese, four new guests enter the mysterious Tokyo café, each with a secret wish, each hoping to go back in time to fulfil it as their coffee is poured . . .

- The father who could not allow his daughter to get married
- A woman who couldn't give Valentine's Day chocolates to her loved one
- A boy who wants to show his smile to his divorced parents
- A wife holding a child with no name . . .


The incomparable Toshikazu Kawaguchi introduces us to the dreams, wishes and deeply emotional encounters of these four guests, all travelling back in time to find comfort, peace, and a newfound happiness. But, as ever, they must return before the coffee gets cold . . .

Catch up on the rest of the series with Before the Coffee Gets Cold, Tales from the Cafe, Before Your Memory Fades and Before We Say Goodbye.
