In Before Your Memory Fades, we meet: the daughter who resents her deceased parents for leaving her orphaned; the comedian who aches for his beloved and their shared dreams; the sister whose grief has become all-consuming; and the man who realized his love for his childhood friend. Heart-warming and poignant, Kawaguchi explores how holding on to the past can affect our future, and asks the reader: would you travel in time if your actions couldn't change the present?
