An overworked, job weary man meets an enthusiastic barista at an airport coffee bar. She relates stories of her time on a coffee farm in Guatemala. Her desire to return coupled with his work weary mind bring them to exit life in the States and embark on a journey to change. The adjustment to life in Guatemala for him is arduous and good. Their love flourishes among the kind and generous natives.
To me, it seemed the relationship formed rather quickly with only twice a week meetings in the airport. Time jumped without due notice. What seemed like a week was a month, a month a year. The descriptions of Guatemala are wonderful. There is quite a bit discussion of coffee bean harvesting.
