This is an automatically translated description

This book contains stories about feelings and moods, doubts and decisions, a long journey and a cosy home, foreign cities and close people, sweet chocolate and tart-bitter coffee. There are no unambiguous conclusions or unchanging recipes, but rather a search and faith in improvisation. There is love and courage, a tiny bit of sadness and a lot of joy, a lot of dreams and no less memories.

The heroes of these stories are ordinary people from ordinary towns, lost, found, in love, brooding, inspiring and ready to share their last cup of coffee for a piece of inspiration - although, what can I say, they are ready to share their coffee for nothing. They are sincere and genuine: they pet their cats, ride their bikes, receive guests, bake cakes and send postcards, listen to street musicians and draw routes on worn-out maps. And each of them has old, favourite cups with these stories at the bottom.

Nadiia Gerbish (Shevchenko) is a woman in love, a stubborn traveller, a writer and translator, a bit of a photographer and a bit of a coffee magician. She lives in a cosy house overlooking the ancient Zbarazh Castle with her family. She teaches History of World Literature and claims that there will be books and coffee even in Paradise.
