“I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills.” My book for Kenya was this classic tale. Books Set In Kenya: Out of Africa by Karen Blixen (aka Isak Dinesen) See the full list: https://taleaway.com/books-set-in-africa-african-novels/ “Out of Africa is Isak Dinesen’s memoir of her years in Africa, from 1914 to 1931, on a four-thousand-acre coffee plantation in the hills near Nairobi. She had come to Kenya from Denmark with her husband, and when they separated she stayed on to manage the farm by herself, visited frequently by her lover, the big-game hunter Denys Finch-Hatton, for whom she would make up stories “like Scheherazade.” In Africa, “I learned how to tell tales,” she recalled many years later. “The natives have an ear still. I told stories constantly to them, all kinds.” Her account of her African adventures, written after she had lost her beloved farm and returned to Denmark, is that of a master storyteller, a woman whom John Updike called “one of the most picturesque and flamboyant literary personalities of the century.” #karenblixen #isakdinesen #outofafrica #kenya #denmark #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #book #books #bookclub #bookworm #bookhoarder #bookobsessed #bookish #bookaholic #bookcommunity #bookblogger #bookaddict #booklover #bookcover #instabook #instaread #read #reading #bibliophile #stayhomeclub #literaturelover #readingafrica #africanbooks #rungstedlund

An essential read for coffee lovers! This tale moves between San Francisco and Yemen, telling the true story of Mokhtar Alkhanshali and his mission to resurrect the art of Yemeni coffee. Enjoyed exploring some of the places from the book in real-life, especially my beloved Blue Bottle Coffee. Books Set In San Francisco and Yemen: The Monk Of Mokha by Dave Eggers See the full list: https://taleaway.com/books-set-in-san-francisco “The Monk of Mokha is the exhilarating true story of a young Yemeni American man, raised in San Francisco, who dreams of resurrecting the ancient art of Yemeni coffee but finds himself trapped in Sana’a by civil war. Mokhtar Alkhanshali is twenty-four and working as a doorman when he discovers the astonishing history of coffee and Yemen’s central place in it. He leaves San Francisco and travels deep into his ancestral homeland to tour terraced farms high in the country’s rugged mountains and meet beleagured but determined farmers. But when war engulfs the country and Saudi bombs rain down, Mokhtar has to find a way out of Yemen without sacrificing his dreams or abandoning his people.” #sanfrancisco #yemen #monkofmokha #themonkofmokha #daveeggers #coffee #portofmokha #bluebottlecoffee #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #book #books #bookclub #bookworm #bookhoarder #bookobsessed #bookish #bookaholic #bookcommunity #bookblogger #bookaddict #booklover #bookcover #instabook #instaread #read #reading #bibliophile #stayhomeclub

A love story that spans decades, by Chilean writer Isabel Allende – one of the worlds most widely read Spanish language authors. Books Set In San Francisco: The Japanese Lover by Isabel Allende See the full list: https://taleaway.com/books-set-in-san-francisco “In 1939, as Poland falls under the shadow of the Nazis, young Alma Belasco's parents send her away to live in safety with an aunt and uncle in their opulent mansion in San Francisco. There, as the rest of the world goes to war, she encounters Ichimei Fukuda, the quiet and gentle son of the family's Japanese gardener. Unnoticed by those around them, a tender love affair begins to blossom. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the two are cruelly pulled apart as Ichimei and his family, like thousands of other Japanese Americans are declared enemies and forcibly relocated to internment camps run by the United States government. Throughout their lifetimes, Alma and Ichimei reunite again and again, but theirs is a love that they are forever forced to hide from the world.” #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #book #books #bookclub #bookworm #bookhoarder #bookobsessed #bookish #bookaholic #bookcommunity #bookblogger #bookaddict #booklover #bookcover #instabook #instaread #read #reading #bibliophile #sanfrancisco #isabelallende #thejapaneselover #womenintranslation #translatedfiction #stayhomeclub #libros
