Overview
Cuatro clientes visitan una cafetería mágica en Japón para enfrentarse a su pasado y ganarse un nuevo comienzo lleno de esperanza.
En el corazón de Hakodate hay un lugar extraordinario: una pequeña cafetería que sirve café con un aroma intenso y envolvente, capaz de hacerte evocar emociones lejanas y de revisitar un momento del pasado.
Sin embargo, adentrarse en este establecimiento tan especial no es para todos, y solo los que reúnen el coraje necesario pueden arriesgarse. Es el caso de Yayoi, quien, privada del cariño de sus padres cuando aún era muy pequeña, no cree poder afrontar la vida con una sonrisa. O Todoroki, cuya exitosa carrera no le dio la oportunidad de apreciar la felicidad que siempre tuvo a su alcance. O Reiko, que nunca llegó a pedirle perdón a su hermana y ahora se siente aplastada por la culpa. O Reiji, para quien una simple frase como «Te quiero» todavía representa un obstáculo insuperable.
A todos les gustaría poder cambiar lo que ya fue, volver atrás y empezar de nuevo, pero borrar el pasado no es siempre la mejor opción. Lo que importa, como transmite Kawaguchi en esta emotiva novela, es aprender de él para construir un futuro más brillante.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The third novel in the international bestselling Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, following four new customers in a cafe where customers can travel back in 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 story of four new customers, each of whom is hoping to take advantage of the cafe's time-travelling offer. Among some familiar faces from Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s previous novels, readers will also be introduced to:
A daughter who begrudges her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned
A comedian who aches for his beloved and their shared dreams
A younger sister whose grief has become all-consuming.
A young man who realizes his love for his childhood friend too late
Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot and featuring signature heart-warming characters and wistful storytelling, in Before Your Memory Fades, Kawaguchi once again invites the reader to ask themselves: what would you change if you could travel back in time?
