The various flavours of coffee




By Anthony Capella

A very amusing read on very serious subjects – business, coffee, love, rebellion, business of love, love of coffee and rebellion of all kinds - all of it in this one action-packed novel.

I am not a business person, but if there is a book which has helped me understand it a bit better, this is definitely one of them. It comes second only to Richard Branson’s autobio.

Then of course if you are a coffee aficionado, then this book will enlighten you with its description of the various flavours of coffee.

Contrary to what they preach in Hindi movies about love, this book shatters the notion that you fall in love only once in life. This book goes to show how you can fall in love in various ways, to different people and how that can change the course of your life!

A very satisfying read, Anthony Capella is a master story teller and a weaver of words. He takes you for an adventure ride you will not forget. In its humour, in its backdrop, (o and it has many backdrops, from the compelling feminist movement to the beginning of advertising history to the establishment of the retail industry – it’s a joy ride, pretty informative joy ride at that) to its characters and descriptions.

Anthony Capella is un-put-down-able as he takes you from uptown London to the jungles of Africa. From the uber English society to the exquisite slaves of Africa. From the hard world of business to the heart of romance.

The determined Emily, the exquisite Fikre and the very human Robert will surely move you.

It’s a must read!

Thank you Bharthi for lending the book.
