Farewell to The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul by Deborah Rodriguez
4.0
I have read the other two books in this series, but if you have not don't worry as it's not necessary. There are references throughout to give a new reader the background on the relationships between the characters and a bit of the backstory.
This time we are in 2021 and the Taliban is moving across Afghanistan taking control back as the US forces leave. People are being displaced, attacked and having their freedom taken away. This is the scenario Sunny finds herself in as she is approaching the end of her visit back to Kabul checking in on her friends Yazmina, Layla, Kat, Halajan, Rashif and Ahmet.
Candace is again their guardian angel trying to coordinate the evacuation from Kabul with so many barriers in her way, she does not give up on her friends.
What I love about this book is the relationships between people and how the strength of these can bring them through adversity. This book also raises so many issues - the role of women in society, ideology and what happens when it is taken to its extreme, politics, culture and power. Overall though it is the love and trust between the characters that guide them through the twists and turns of this episode in their lives.
