A heartening story about an American woman, Sunny, who owns and runs a coffee shop in Kabul. Sunny is an astute woman surrounded by characters who have their own emotional baggage, but rescues a young woman, Yazmina, from living on the streets or worse.
The story revolves around the coffee shop and all who work within. It’s a place that stands in contrast to all around it, as bombs and ancient culture predominate outside its walls.
Sunny needs to make a way to make the coffee house financially viable as it struggles to make a profit. Unwilling to admit defeat and return to the States, she tries different things to raise money, which leads to her meeting Isabel, a British journalist and Candace, a divorced American woman in love with an Afghan.
Despite being surrounded by the adversity of a war torn country, this group of women make positive progress and are enhanced after meeting each other.
A feel good women’s fiction novel set in a gritty, war torn backdrop.

I’ve seen this book about and I read the last one where Debbie has the beauty place in Kabul. This sounds like a good read.

This has the best cover ever! This is a book that I’ve been wanting to read for so long but it feels too mellow to bother picking it up. I’m still not sure… But it is tempting.

It’s definitely not as mellow as you’d expect, worth a read.
