Jaffa Street.
-
AuthorDaniel Speck
The third novel by the author of the big bestsellers "Bella Germania" and "Piccola Sicilia." "Jaffa Street" continues the story that began in the novel "Piccola Sicilia." 1948. Little Joelle finds a new home on Jaffa Street in the port city of Haifa. At the same time, for the Palestinian Amal, her father's orange groves in the suburbs of Jaffa have become only a memory of a lost homeland. Both girls have no idea about the secret that not only connects them but will determine each of their fates. Their paths cross in one person who will play a decisive role in the lives of both — a former German soldier Moritz, who renounced the war, his country, his family in Germany, his name, and himself. All his life Moritz, who became Morris, will spend searching for one person — his true self. His German family, his Jewish family, his Arab family — with which is he truly connected, where is his main attachment, and does he have roots at all? Three families, three generations, three cultures — and one common dramatic fate. Daniel Speck once again invites you to immerse yourself in the amazing life of the Mediterranean, but the polyphony and panorama in his new novel have become even broader, and the drama of Moritz-Morris and his loved ones cannot leave anyone indifferent.
