BEFORE WE FORGET KINDNESS

Translated from Japanese, in Before We Forget Kindness 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 . .
