## Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A gripping, triumphant adventure” ( Los Angeles Times ) from the bestselling author of The Circle —the incredible true story of a young Yemeni American man, raised in San Francisco, who dreams of resurrecting the ancient art of Yemeni coffee but finds himself trapped in Sana’a by civil war. Mokhtar Alkhanshali is twenty-four and working as a doorman when he discovers the astonishing history of coffee and Yemen’s central place in it. He leaves San Francisco and travels deep into his ancestral homeland to tour terraced farms high in the country’s rugged mountains and meet beleaguered but determined farmers. But when war engulfs the country and Saudi bombs rain down, Mokhtar has to find a way out of Yemen without sacrificing his dreams or abandoning his people.

Review: Humanity and Passion - This is not just a story about getting some coffee beans from Yemen to Frisco. This is a story about how a man can fight against all odds to conquer the goal he has set for himself. I am absolutely sold by Mokhtar's Journey and what he has achieved in his life. A must read for anyone who is going through rough patches in life.
Review: Overpriced - The seller has charged Rupees 888 though it’s price is Rs. 699 Yet 4 stars because the book is original print.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING STORY
*by T***N on 25 March 2024*

What a great story! I picked up this book, thinking it was similar to assignment Rosti book I just finished reading, which was more of a fable. I would still light it to learn that this was a true story. Having spent time in the Middle East, I know something of its gloried past. I loved learning more about Yemen. I had no idea the Yemini were the first to brew coffee. I’m so glad that there is someone making it worthwhile for the farmers to grow coffee again rather than qat. This is the type of tale that helps you understand why America is a land of immigrants. Yes, they came for a better life, but they also came, hoping to make life better for those they left behind. Moktar truly is able to do that Despite the fact that he seems worthless, once he found his dream, his passion, there was no stopping him from succeeding. I can’t wait to discuss the story with my book group. I’m eager to hear their insights into the tale.
