But the café’s rules remain: they must return before their coffee gets cold. Tender, poignant and quietly magical, Before I Knew I Loved You explores memory, relationships, grief, forgiveness and the enduring power of love across time. A moving contemporary Japanese novel for fans of time-travel fiction and heartfelt stories.
