The underlying mystery of the entire novel is that young girls are disappearing on the isle. This scene can be found on pages 151-152. It is not sexual, but this still might be triggering to some readers. The most triggering scene I would like to point out is that a female character is physically assaulted. As an example, the old ballad that depicts the two clans’ history is one where a husband and wife (from opposing clans) quarrel and then kill each other, which initially sparks the unbalance of the isle. Violence: there is a simmering level-or feeling-of violence throughout this story, as one clan on the isle is of a threatening and raiding nature to the other, who then kills in retaliation. Last time I counted, there were 4 curse words total. Please be aware that there will be *** SLIGHT SPOILERS*** in this content guide (although I have done my best to keep it minimal!).

He travels in time back and forth and links this second most traded product in the world, after oil, coffee, to the main events in the history of mankind. Pendergast sets the starting point of his history of the coffee, time 0, as the time when, according to the Ethiopian legend, the goats had eaten the leaves and fruits of the coffee plants for the first time. Its name was linked to revolutions, revolts and mostly everything related to human passions. Ever since coffee entered the gate of human beverages, it slowly and irreversibly spread throughout the world. Mark Pendergast's book "Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How it Transformed Our World" is presenting a glorifying as well as a demonizing role coffee plaid ever since an Ethiopian goat herder discovered it, more than ten centuries ago.
