The Women's Coffee Shop
The Women's Coffee Shop | Andriana Ierodiaconou
1 post | 1 read
Angelou the firebrand has opened a coffee shop for women, where they can gather to drink and gossip like the men. These days, the hot topic of conversation is a macabre one: Angelou has just discovered her close friend Avraam Salih, shadow theatre master extraordinary, dead of a knife wound outside his house. Who killed him? Tensions between Christians and Moslems are high, and the dead man was of mixed parentage - could it have been a political murder? He also led a complex life - might the motive have been passion, money, professional envy? Angelou has some ideas, and she and the women of the coffee shop swing into action.....This offbeat whodunit will keep you turning the pages and entertain you with a vivid cast of unforgettable characters.

Angelou is a single woman in Cyprus who runs a "coffee shop" for women. The story starts with the death of her friend, Avraam Salih, a man born to a Christian and a Muslim and thus widely ostracized on the island.↘️

Lindy @ReadingEnvy Did you intend to write a longer review? 2y
ReadingEnvy @Lindy ha, yes! I am easily distracted right now. See below. 2y
ReadingEnvy I like that the author is Cypriot but the contents are better suited to a short story. Lines and scenes are repeated frequently for no apparent reason and this made it a bit of a slog to read. I appreciate that she had people along a sex and gender spectrum and navigating religious difference in different ways, and the scene where she confronts a priest is pretty great. 2y
Lindy @ReadingEnvy I‘m glad you added the second part to your review, because now I‘m intrigued, even though you don‘t fully endorse the book. 2y
