About this listen

The fifth book in the multi-million-copy bestselling series about a cosy Japanese cafe that offers its visitors the chance to travel back in time.

Curl up with the fifth book in the sensational Before the Coffee Gets Cold series translated from Japanese, the cosy Tokyo café where customers arrive hoping to travel back 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.

Another moving and heartwarming tale from Toshikazu Kawaguchi, in Before We Forget Kindness our new visitors wish to go back into their past to find closure and comfort so they can embark on a beautiful future.

‘I don’t want it to ever end. Emotional, heart-warming, hopeful’

Heartwarming, whimsical . . . offering comfort at a time when the world seems off-kilter and chaotic

This is the last book in the series till date. The stories in them continue to interweave between what goes on in the cafe and folks from different walks of life. Since this book is based around a couple of years after the initial book, it was good to have some of the original characters from the cafe back into the story.

True to the theme of the series, this book also covers several heart-warming stories of kindness. Loved the narration by Kevin Shen, it maintained the continuity from the previous books to this new one. Grab a cup of coffee in this cold season and get listening to this cozy audiobook!

I just love this whole series of books. It was introduced to me by my daughter who is no more. I wept bitterly listening to the last story. Reminded me of the pain and agony my daughter and maybe all Cancer patients go through, they wait for those they miss, maybe just a call from them would be eniugh🥺

Heart-rending reading

The first one was ok, but serialising it to exploit people's sentiments is just bad

This concept is wearing thin
