John Boyne Quote

I don’t drink coffee, she said, taking a sip from her tea. Coffee is for Americans and Protestants. Irish people should drink tea. That’s how we were brought up after all. Give me a nice cup of Lyons and I’m content. I don’t mind the occasional cup of Barry’s myself. No, that’s from Cork.
