The Taste of Many Mountains

Fiction

“Bruce Wydick takes us to the coffee plantations of rural Guatemala, traces the production path to the lattes we sip each day, and asks some penetrating questions: Why do coffee growers’ children remain shoeless despite the success of the Fair Trade scheme? Why does a bout of bad weather profit these impoverished farmers more? What can we truly do to ensure they’re paid a living wage? A detective story and an economics lesson in one, The Taste of Many Mountains is an engaging read on one of today’s critical justice issues.”
