Publisher Description
This special 10-year anniversary edition includes exclusive new author content.
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 café 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.
“With a message…to protect and empower the women of Kabul, Rodriguez weaves her tale of life, death, and marriage…Readers will appreciate the in-depth, sensory descriptions of this oft-mentioned and faraway place that most have never seen.”
- Booklist
“Rodriguez paints a vivid picture of Afghan culture… as if Maeve Binchy had written The Kite Runner.”

The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul
It was something about the cover that attracted me to the book at the airport on my way to Bali-a nice easy read! I absolutely loved the book & couldn't put it down! Sat by the pool & devoured it-great read.
The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul
This isn't the usual book I would read, I only looked at it because I got my regular email from one of the publishing houses that this was the most popular book of 2001. I downloaded a sample on the iPad and then the whole book. I just loved it, an American surviving in a different culture. A fabulous read, would highly recommend it.
Favourite!
Loved every word and every moment. This book travelled from Australia, around Europe and back home with me and helped me get through every flight. Favourite book thus far. Highly recommended for love, politics, and power!
