Coffee with a Taste of Wine: When the Coffee's Bitterness Breaks the Wine's Sweetness

About this book

Have you ever tried to read a book that reads you before you turn its first page? In "Coffee with a Taste of Wine," we do not open a mere novel, but open a door bolted for centuries on a secret that did not die, but was awaiting "the heiress" possessing the courage to taste. The tale begins with "Doha," the student and researcher who thinks history is mere lines in volumes, until that mysterious manuscript falls into her hands, breathing between her palms. The book is no silent paper, but a living creature refusing submission, balking at being read, mocking intruders, and granting its secrets only to whoever offers "the offerings"; a strange mixture of the coffee's bitterness awakening memory, and the wine's sweetness opening roads of imagination and blood. Between the corridors of an ancient library wrapped in dust and mystery, and the character of "Sadeem" who seems a shadow come out of old tales' womb, the threads of curse and inheritance tangle. Here the worlds of ancient magic, fortune-tellers' prophecies, and tyrant kings' struggles mingle with the reality of a girl who suddenly found herself the daughter of two eras; her contemporary time, and the time of a woman whose heart burned five centuries ago. "Coffee with a Taste of Wine" is no mere journey in search of truth, but a test of the soul. Is betrayal an inevitable fate? And can the present's bitterness break the past's poisoned sweetness? It is a novel about the heavy prices we pay to gain our freedom, and about those moments when a human realizes that some endings immortalize not names, but give life a chance not to repeat tragedies. Enter a world where ink drips blood and words are born from cold fire's ash, and get ready to discover whether you are a reader.. or part of the prophecy.
