Love, Coffee, and Revolution

A Novel

De: Stefanie Leder

Narrado por: Inés del Castillo

Deftly weaving romance, action, and humor with a quest for integrity in an unjust world, Love, Coffee, and Revolution is a timely and relatable coming-of-age novel.

Dee Blum has a plan. Or rather, her parents do.

Graduate college. Go to law school. Become a divorce attorney. Be “successful.” But Dee wants more—more purpose, more passion, more than checking off someone else’s boxes. A surprise gig leading eco-tours of ethical coffee farms in Costa Rica offers a fresh start.

At first, she’s intoxicated by the thrill of navigating a new culture and the attention of two very different men: one, the charming scion of a wealthy family; the other, a magnetic change-maker. But she soon finds herself torn between conflicting desires and mounting evidence that these “ethical” coffee farms aren’t all they promise to be. Dee knows she didn’t come all this way to join a corrupt system that hides behind phony environmentalism. So how far will she go for justice? For love? And for the life she actually wants?

Two For One

I usually listen to audio books while I'm doing something else so I feel super-dee-duper productive. This book sabotaged that. The more I listened, the less I accomplished in verifiable manual labor.The book does not lend itself to piecemeal listening. It's THAT good! The characters are wise yet human, main character clever, smart, at times humorously self-deprecating and always questioning. That became contagious. Issues of importance personal, corporate, human rights related and familial are not hinted at, They move the story at the perfect pace.
Oh, and the reader is remarkable!She was everyone in the book. She spoke Spanish, English, male, female, young, old, wise and on the way to wise. She was given a rich, layered entertaining masterpiece to read and was the perfect accompaniest.
