Amsterdam, 1659: On the world’s first commodities exchange, fortunes are won and lost in an instant. Miguel Lienzo, a sharp-witted trader in the city’s close-knit community of Portuguese Jews, knows this only too well. Once among the city’s most envied merchants, Miguel has suddenly lost everything. Now, impoverished and humiliated, living in his younger brother’s canal-flooded basement, Miguel must find a way to restore his wealth and reputation.
Miguel enters into a partnership with a seductive Dutchwoman who offers him one last chance at success - a daring plot to corner the market of an astonishing new commodity called “coffee.”
To succeed, Miguel must risk everything he values and face a powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to see him ruined. Miguel will learn that among Amsterdam’s ruthless businessmen, betrayal lurks everywhere, and even friends hide secret agendas.

Where does The Coffee Trader rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is an olympic tale of religious freedom in an isolated locale throughout Europe in the period of this novel. D. Liss has done his research of the financial and social realms of Amsterdam during the mid-seventeenth century. The fleeing of the family from Spain and it's inquisition to the single point of safety for practicing Jews begins the readers education of life in the period.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
The character interaction is intriguing with hierarchical relations in the Jewish community, the marital relationship of the two brothers and the women in their lives, as well as the fundamental familial relationship of the brothers.What about John Lee’s performance did you like?
The narrator performs the manipulation of character voices with strength.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
My experience with audio books, as with paper books is to relax with the story during interludes between other necessary activities. I have never listened or read a book cover to cover in a single setting.Continuing education
