The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul: The heart-warming and uplifting international bestseller

Product Information

Of the other characters, my favourite is Sunny's next-door neighbour on Timbly island, Giuseppe better known as Joe. This whole series has been excellent – the way the two main physical settings (Kabul and Twimbly Island) are brought to life, and the incredibly rich array of characters who populate these places and drive the story. Yazmina was visiting Zara at the hospital yazmina's husband told her he did not want her visiting Zara again because she should be resting because she is heavily pregnant and he fears for her safety he said she should be staying home being a mother and wife and be helping clean up the coffeehouse after the shooting. I got great pleasure out of Yazmina standing up to Ahmet, and I largely enjoyed Halajan's answers to a lot of the questions raised, but overall I found that the novel tried to open some big questions but then was too afraid or unable to look at them more deeply, and settled for a cliched ending instead.

To see a woman so in love and with the man of her dreams and encouraging the next generation is such a brilliant thing. But, he is unable to drag his mind away from the ideas of the traditional roles for women, until the tragic outcome to the love affair of two young Afghans shows him how damaging – to individuals and the state – these ideas are.

Rodriguez displays some supreme storytelling skills, exploring thought-provoking themes while keeping the underlying "feel" of the book light. In Afghanistan a young girl is trying to escape an arranged marriage to an evil, rich man – something that has disastrous consequences for herself and her newfound friends.

It was funny what they did to Rick but he should not have tried to rip sunny off by saying he owned half of the vineyard I really love this book I can not get enough of reading it and I would read it again and again it was nice to read that Ahmet made a promise to both his daughters and he said tearfully to sunny have you seen my beautiful daughter auntie sunny and auntie Layla and Kat thought the baby girl is beautiful too. EXCERPT: 'Layla had never been able to shed the nightmares about the men who had taken her as revenge for her sister's escape, the memories of those days before Jack had come to rescue her. I liked reading that yazmina feed the baby girl chewed up dates and then the baby's hair was shaved off and the family would give the weight of the hair to the poor which l think it is nice of the family.Sunny, who misses Afghanistan and her own little world of Cafe, now needs to make sense of her life without Jack and a vineyard left to her.

She feels out of place, she feels the disconnection with the world that she known, the busy restless and uncertainty life in Kabul. Like the first book in this series, I found it difficult at times to follow each character with the names and places, who they are, and what impact they have in the story. This is the story of six women - three of them live in Kabul, Afghanistan and the other three live in the Pacific Northwest of America.Zara and her family had gone in to hiding to get away from faheem her sister's headmaster who wanted to marry Zara. This book is really good and I can not put in to words how great this book really is I would tell people to read it for themselves to know how great this book really is.

This was a book about finding a place where you belong, about clashes of culture and beliefs, and importantly, about the lives of Afghan women in contemporary Afghan society. And then there is Zara, who is about to be forced into a marriage with devastating consequences, even for Halajan's family. She not only hones in on the struggle of women in Afghanistan on a much more intense level, but through Sunny, she begs the question of whether or not the heart can move on from a country it never truly leaves, and through Layla and Kat, she tackles the complex nature of belonging to two countries, but not really belonging in one place at all - and it was these themes that she addressed that gives her characters, and by extent her novel, such admirable depth.First of all, I honestly can't believe that people like Faheem exist, he has a very disgusting personality and people like him just waste oxygen.
