Before We Forget Kindness by Toshikazu Kawaguchi is the fifth book in the sensational, bestselling Before the Coffee Gets Cold series. This book talks about the mysterious cafe where customers arrive hoping to travel in time.
In this novel, the cafe welcomes four new guests:
- 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, and
- A wife holding a child with no name.
These new visitors have decided to return to the past. Otherwise, they feel unable to move forward into the future until each of them can resolve their particular dilemma.
They need to discover the truths, which will, hopefully, allow closure and the return of happiness.
However, they must follow the cafe’s strict rules, and return to the present before their coffee goes cold!
This is another beautifully and heart-wrenchingly told novel in this wonderful series. Exquisite springs to mind, each story beautifully crafted with love and great attention to detail.
A highly recommended must-read!
