    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The third novel in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series, a true global sensation – now in a gorgeous, decorative special edition.

    On the hillside of Mount Hakodate in northern Japan, Cafe Donna Donna is fabled for its dazzling views of Hakodate port. But that’s not all. Like the charming Tokyo cafe Funiculi Funicula, Cafe Donna Donna offers its customers the extraordinary experience of travelling through time.

    From the author of Before the coffee gets cold and Tales from the cafe comes another story of four new customers, each of whom is hoping to take advantage of the cafe’s time-travelling offer. Among some familiar faces from Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s previous novels, readers will also be introduced to:

    A daughter who begrudges her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned
    A comedian who aches for his beloved and their shared dreams
    A younger sister whose grief has become all-consuming
    A young man who realizes his love for his childhood friend too late.

    Translated from Japanese by Geoffrey Trousselot, and featuring signature heart-warming characters and wistful storytelling, in Before your memory fades, Toshikazu Kawaguchi once again asks: Who would you want to meet if you could travel through time?

    Now in an irresistibly beautiful special edition - with a luxurious foiled cover, sprayed edges and specially designed endpapers - this is perfect as a gift or a cosy treat for yourself . . .



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