Why Before We Forget The Kindness  is a Must-Read

A Masterpiece of Heartfelt Storytelling

Kawaguchi’s gentle narrative draws readers into intimate stories of people grappling with regrets and second chances. His evocative writing encourages readers to consider their own memories and the ways in which kindness has shaped their lives.

Magical Realism with a Purpose

Like Kawaguchi’s previous works, this novel employs a magical café where time travel is possible, but only under specific conditions. This intriguing element adds a layer of magic to the story while grounding it in deeply human emotions of love, loss, and gratitude.

Reflection on Human Connection

At its core, Before We Forget is about the moments that connect us. Through the experiences of his characters, Kawaguchi explores how even the smallest acts of kindness can leave a lasting impact on someone’s life. The novel’s message is clear: never underestimate the power of compassion, no matter how fleeting it may seem.

Memorable Quotes from Before We Forget The Kindness 

  • "There is a kindness that we may not notice at the time, yet it stays with us, echoing through our lives in ways we don’t always understand."

Translation (Sinhala): "ඒ වෙලාවේ අපට දැනෙන නැති කරුණාවක් තියෙනවා, ඒත් එය අපේ ජීවිත තුළ නිතරම ගැඹුරු ප්‍රතිධ්වනි දෙනවා."

Translation (Tamil): "நாம் கவனிக்காத ஒரு கருணை உண்டு, ஆனால் அது எங்களுக்கு புரியாமல் எங்கள் வாழ்க்கையில் பின்வாங்கி ஒலிக்கிறது."

  • "Time doesn’t erase kindness. It only deepens the ways it touches us, in the moments we least expect."

  • "To be kind is to leave a mark on someone’s heart. Sometimes we remember it too late, but it is never truly forgotten."

  • "In the end, it’s not the grand gestures we recall, but the quiet kindness we were shown in the simplest of moments."
