A really good read about a Yemeni American that becomes obsessed with coffee and the beginnings of coffee in Yemen. Studies to become a kind of expert in coffee and then travels back to Yemen to help the farmers there to rejuvenate coffee production there and export it around the world. All this while the Yemen civil war is going on. It is a true story by Dave Eggers and a really interesting and page turning story as well. I am not enough of a fancy coffee drinker to know much about Yemen coffee and how it is doing since this book. There is still a civil war going on many problems in that area of the world.
At this point will keep this book. One of my daughters is a barista at Starbucks and might find this book to be a good read. If not can always mail off down the line. There are 4 WL for this in PBS, this is a large print copy too.
