Description

Robert Wallis, a would-be poet and impoverished dandy, accepts a commission to categorise the different tastes of coffee from Samuel Pinker, a free-thinking coffee merchant. As he works with Pinker's daughters, Philomenia, Ada and Emily, romance blossoms with Emily, challenging his views on art and marriage. As Robert travels to Abyssinia in search of fortune in the coffee trade, he becomes obsessed with a negro slave girl, Fikre. He decides to use the money he has saved to buy her from her owner, a decision that will change not only his own life but also the lives of the three Pinker sisters. This novel explores themes of love, art, and identity in 19th-century England and Abyssinia.
