A gripping, triumphant adventure story." --<b>Paul Constant, <i>Los Angeles Times</i> <p/></b>I wish someone had asked me to blurb <i>The Monk of Mokha</i> so I could have said, 'I couldn't put it down, ' because I couldn't put it down. <b>--Ann Patchett, Parnassas Bookstore blog</b> <p/>"A true account of a scrappy underdog, told in a lively, accessible style... Absolutely as gripping and cinematically dramatic as any fictional cliffhanger." <b><b>--Michael Lindgren, <i>The Washington Post</i></b> <p/> </b>"Remarkable... offers hope in the age of Trump... Ends as a kind of breathless thriller as Mokhtar braves militia roadblocks, kidnappings and multiple mortal dangers." <b><b>--Tim Adams, <i>The Guardian</i></b> <p/> </b>"A heady brew... Plainspoken but gripping<i>... </i>Dives deep into a crisis but delivers a jolt of uplift as well." <b><b>--Mark Athitakis, <i>USA Today</i></b><br><b> </b></b><br> A vibrant depiction of courage and passion, interwoven with a detailed history of Yemeni coffee and a timely exploration of Muslim American identity. <b>--David Canfield, </b><i><b>Entertainment Weekly</b></i><b><i> <p/> </i></b>"<i>The Monk of Mokha</i> is not merely about 'coming to America, ' it is a thrilling chronicle of one man's coming-and-going between two beloved homelands--a brilliant mirror on the global community we have become." <b>--Marie Arana, author of </b><i><b>American Chica </b></i><b>and </b><i><b>Bolivar: American Liberator</b></i><b><i><br> </i></b><br> "This American coming of age story reminds us all of how much our country is enriched by all who call it home." <b>--Dalia Mogahed, author of </b><i><b>Who Speaks For Islam?: What a Billion Muslims Really Think</b></i> <p/> "Here's a story for our time: filled with ethos and pathos.

From scamming in the Tenderloin to dodging bombs in Yemen, Mokhtar and Eggers take us on a worthwhile ride through the postmodern topography of our times." <b>--Hamza Hanson Yusuf<br> </b><br> <b>"</b>Like many great works, Eggers' book is multifaceted.
