FIC Liss
It is 1659 in Amsterdam, the world's first commodities exchange, and Portuguese Jew Miguel Lienzo has lost his fortune in the sugar market. He schemes to regain it with a daring plan to import a strange new drink called "coffee". The plot twists and turns as money, power, reputation, and the pressures of the Jewish community spiral into betrayal and moral corruption in this historical fiction.
