The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul

Beautiful book about 5 women living in a Kabul during war times.

It treats of themes of family, friendship and bonds forged in unlikely places. The characters are fleshed out and you want to root for them but the story feels rushed, especially the end.

Suddenly everything comes to a climax in very little time and minds are changed quickly in a non believable way.

Still a beautiful read but I feel that a lot of important themes and subjects were just glossed over, a missed opportunity to be a great book.
