"Capella serves up an fine new helping of gourmet fiction."--The Economist
"This story is an eclectic brew of such diverse elements as the coffee trade, women's suffrage, foreign travel and slavery, and is spiced up with a dollop of exotic romance."--Seattle Times "The Various Flavors of Coffee is an enthralling story, full of twists and surprises, passion and sex and, of course, coffee."--Boston Globe "Robust.... Fast-paced ... propelled by Capella's masterful characterizations."--Kirkus Reviews "Capella infuses history and style into a skillfully crafted blend that starts sweet, turns to a rich, full flavor, and leaves readers craving a bit more." --Library Journal "Capella's vividly sensuous command of the arts of both food and romance will attract readers." --BooklistAnthony Capella is a lover of all things culinary who lives in Oxfordshire, England. His previous novels, The Wedding Officer and The Food of Love, have been translated into twenty-two languages. He is at work on his next novel.
