The whole book!
I could not put this book down!
I was immediately drawn into this wonderfully written tale of rituals, mystery, and fate.
In a world full of so many, five total strangers cross paths and coincidentally affect the others' lives.
Ziva has inherited the ability to read coffee grinds, a power passed down from her grandmother. The ritual of preparing, drinking, and then placing the cup upside down in order to read the grinds, is one Ziva performs with utmost tradition and care. She reads the grinds to help the drinker discover their future.
But what if Ziva uses the ritual to read her own future? How would her discovery change her life?
Told in multiple voices, each one a stranger to the next, but all are familiar to Ziva, and each affects the other by pure coincidence.
Edward Vukovic's writing is beautiful, haunting and draws you into vividly detailed scenes and doesn't let go until you, too, are wishing for Ziva to read your grinds.
