When that happens the person gifted with the most precious thing will be able to fight on a little more.

Over the years, he has held several prestigious posts at both the national and international levels.

Besides those ones existing in Japan, I thought at first that such a cafe is there somewhere in America as well.These aren't deep books, they are short and to the point, so they don't reach me as fully as they could as a more in-depth character study would. I dont really understand why the book repeats itself so much - it’s like bingeing a TV series that’s forcing you to watch the ‘last time on…’ every episode. Overall, while I did enjoy this book, I didn't find it as emotionally hard-hitting or satisfying as the previous installment, Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Café, which remains my favorite among the three books in the series.

I also absolutely loved every single character, unlike Tales from the Cafe, which was a little bit more difficult in terms of my liking towards a specific character. Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s touching Before Your Memory Fades, translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, explores the age-old question: what would you do if you could travel back in time? Maybe it has become a bit too repetitive, maybe all the stories were a little too similar this time - or maybe it was just translated differently. Some days, that person who is chasing their dreams will not be able to find the strength to keep going. It will be bitter and painful, and they will have to weigh up their dreams and reality to make a choice.I appear to be in a small number of people who didn't like this one so try it yourself if you have read the others and see how you get on.

Perhaps it’s because I feel so connected to the people in the stories and I don’t want to say goodbye. Many of the people that we meet share a very similar story as to why they wish to go into the past, to the point where they didn’t feel very distinct. Light and delightful ways of writing despite how the author still having that same writing habit like before; to repetitively info dumping stuff he already mentioned in each story.

It is a beautiful book, and an even more beautiful series, which I thoroughly enjoyed and I am sad I have to let it go, at least for now. These two quotes reaffirmed my thinking that our heart is the eyes of the soul, and if we truly want to know the person, we should never disregard this ability of another way to see. I don’t fancy Reiji’s character that much but the last story of him and Nanako really gets my heart broken a bit. The other person might not be thinking anything, but there is a tendency to just assume what the other is feeling without reaching out and asking. I'm glad I met new people in here and hope to learn more about them in the next book, can't wait for yet another installment coming up!Although the style is the same of all three books, I enjoy them, and especially like listening to the audiobooks. They cannot change the present with this trip, but the various people who choose to undertake the journey are themselves changed. I loved how he built his characters, so that each were distinctive, even just by how they spoke or how they were described.
