  • I liked this book4

    Louise Marsh Chick lit meets the Taliban in The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul (also published under the title A Cup of Friendship).

    This unlikely pairing creates a warm-hearted read with a serious message about the treatment of women in modern day Afghanistan.

    It tells the story of five women - two Americans, one British and two Afghans - and the friendship they forge in a little coffee shop in the centre of Kabul.

    It's evident that American author Deborah Rodriguez loves Kabul, the city she called home for five years during the 2000s, and that she has a lot of respect and compassion for its people.

    I like what she has done with The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul.

    She gives us an insight into the lure of a country like Afghanistan for foreigners, the harsh realities of life for Afghan women and the struggles of the older generation who can remember life before the Taliban.

    She also gave me a greater appreciation for the people of Afghanistan and their country, culture and traditions.

    She does so using a writing style that is very easy to read.

    I didn't love this book, but I liked it a lot.

    It's not as haunting as Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns, but there are similarities between the two. Both authors draw attention to violence against women in Afghanistan, albeit using different genres.

    If you're looking for a an easy and warm-hearted read that gives an insight into the struggles of women living in a country with a culture that is far different to ours, then The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul is worth a read.
