Before We Forget Kindness

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

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

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In the fifth book in the sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, the mysterious café where customers arrive hoping to travel in time 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
  • A wife holding a child with no name

They must follow the café's strict rules, however, and come back to the present before their coffee goes cold.

In another moving and heartwarming tale from Toshikazu Kawaguchi, our new visitors wish to go back into their past to move on their present, finding closure and comfort so they can embark on a beautiful future.

First time using book hero last week and though I was sceptical , the two business books I needed were only available on book hero so I gave it a try. Before I got home the following day the books were already at my home !! That's super efficient ! I'm proud to be supporting a local business that outperforms the big players ! Well done bookhero !
