One little cafe. Five extraordinary women...

In a little coffee shop in one of the most dangerous places on earth, five very different women come together.

Sunny, the proud proprietor, who needs an ingenious plan - and fast - to keep her cafe and customers safe...

Yazmina, a young pregnant woman stolen from her remote village and now abandoned on Kabul's violent streets...

Candace, a wealthy American who has finally left her husband for her Afghan lover, the enigmatic Wakil...

Isabel, a determined journalist with a secret that might keep her from the biggest story of her life...

And Halajan, the sixty-year-old den mother, whose long-hidden love affair breaks all the rules.

As these five discover there's more to one another than meets the eye, they form a unique bond that will for ever change their lives and the lives of many others.

Critic reviews

"If you loved The Kite Runner you'll love The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul." (Look Magazine)

"A heart-warming tale that's utterly irresistible." (Madison)

"Perfect summer reading." (Herald Sun)

Extraordinary…

This a such a truly fabulous book.
I have found it’s story to be beautiful, sad, soul-destroying, enlightening, tender, joyful and funny. There are very few books that can capture life within them, that can teach us things we never knew about places we have never even considered going or even wondered about, and yet take us by the hand and touch us in our own lives… and to me, this is one of those books… a once in a decade / once in a lifetime books.
I love it, and can not recommend it more highly.
Amazing read. Extraordinary story. Life changing experience.
