In the heart of Tokyo's Jimbocho district lies Funiculi Funicula, an enigmatic café that offers a seemingly impossible service: a journey back in time. This magical realism novel continues the beloved tradition of Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s series, inviting visitors to revisit pivotal moments from their past. The café operates under strict rules, requiring patrons to return to the present before their coffee grows cold. For those who enter its doors, however, are seeking more than mere nostalgia. They arrive hoping to find closure, gain comfort, and ultimately move forward with a renewed sense of purpose. Each visit is an emotional pilgrimage toward understanding what truly matters in life. 'Before We Forget Kindness' is a moving and heartwarming tale that explores profound themes of forgiveness, second chances, and the delicate passage of time. It invites readers to reflect on their own memories, finding hope and connection as they learn that sometimes, the greatest journeys are those taken toward embracing a beautiful future.
