Come Drink Coffee With Me
Widener and Lewis, 1994
What is it like to be single in Israel? Is there a "single scene" and where can it be found? Is it possible for a foreign woman to find a husband in Israel? Where and what kind? Whoa are the "beach sharks", "green card seekers", and the "almost divorced men" and why must they be avoided at all cost?
Why is Israel such a paradise for men over 40?
These are some of the questions the author explores in the sometimes sad, sometimes funny journey and adventures of her American heroine, Debbie Warshawsky and with the many other colorful characters that fill this panoramic novel. In the process, many myths about the Promised Land are exploded. Come Drink Coffee With Me should be read by every Israeli and it is an absolute must for the unsuspecting tourist or new immigrant.
