A young woman with a successful career is on the verge of an existential crisis. On the way to salvation she goes through illusory love, physical violence, sleepless nights and drained bottles. And through a purifying friendship that overcomes geographical distances and connects two human worlds into a spiritual kinship. It is a book about finding a Home, but not as a place in space, but as a place in the heart.
"If you are reading these words, there are two options: either to open the novel and immerse in it, or you have already done it, you have closed the book but still want it somehow to continue. In both cases, I envy you. In the first - because you are going to read a deep, beautiful, sad, sometimes painful, but sincere and ultimately omnipotent human story, and in the other case - that you have already experienced this emanation of friendship and love. "Slivovitz" is a sip of icy fire that flows into the mind, the heart and the veins of everyone who unfolds its pages and his/her soul for this literary feast. " Svetlozar Zhelev
"This book will enchant you and you won't forget it because it will make a bed for you." Dimitar Shumnaliev
Katerina Hapsali graduated in economics and Spanish in the United States, then returned to Bulgaria.

She is the first editor of "Harper's BAZAAR" magazine in Bulgaria. "Greek Coffee" is her first novel.
