From the best-selling author of The Circle - the gripping 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 becomes fascinated
with the rich history of coffee and Yemen's central place in it. He
leaves San Francisco and travels deep into his ancestral home to
tour terraced farms high in the country's rugged mountains. He
collects samples and organizes farmers and is on the verge of
success when civil war engulfs the country. Saudi bombs rain down,
the U.S. embassy closes, and Mokhtar has to find a way out of Yemen
with only his hopes on his back. The Monk of Mokha is the story of
this courageous and visionary young man following the most American
of dreams. 'Extraordinary... No story is more urgent' Observer
'Dramatic, aspirational smartly and engagingly written... Exactly
what I want to read right now' The Times 'The antidote to
Trumpism... This is a book that celebrates [the] exuberance of the
human spirit' Mail on Sunday 'This book... is about the American
dream, and the threat that it is under' Spectator 'Remarkable...
full of derring-do, tenacity and exceptional luck' Metro
