About this listen
This special edition includes exclusive new author content.
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.

Wonderful story
A great insight into life of men and women under the Taliban, woven into a delightful story. My only tiny comment on the recording is that it could have been a fraction slower.

A very special book
Fusing cultures, this novel offers great characters, excitement and empathy. Novel of the year for me, a perfectly balanced read and eye opening.

A nice story 😐
Fine if you are looking for a nice, Oprah-book club type of story. Fairly formulaic, some parts feel like they were informed by people who had actually spent time in Afganistan, other parts too embroidered, even for pre-Taliban Afganistan. The narrator is very good.

What a fantastic book- I cried at the end
Descriptive and emotive, the narrator has a soothing voice and brings the characters to life.
I have visions in my mind such that I would recognise the coffee shop if I was to pass it on the streets of Kabul.

Took me away to Kabul
Beautiful book and lovely narration. Such an easy listen and had me smiling while doing housework! Loved the insight into Kabul life, love, culture and what happens on the inside. A wistful travellers dream.

Enlightening
While the overall story was mostly a feel-good read, it certainly opens western eyes to the naked truth of how women are truly perceived in Taliban territory.
This could be read just for the education it provides.
