The third novel by the author of the great bestsellers "Bella Germany" 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 just a memory of her lost homeland. Both girls have no idea about the secret that not only connects them, but will also determine the fate of each. Their paths will converge in one person who will play a decisive role in the lives of both - the former German soldier Moritz, who renounced the war, his country, his family in Germany, his name, himself. And Moritz, who became Maurice, will spend his whole life searching for one person - his true self. His German family, his Jewish family, his Arab family - which of them is his true one, 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 offers to immerse ourselves in the amazing life of the Mediterranean, but the polyphony and panoramic view in his new novel have become even wider, and the drama of the story of Moritz-Maurice and his loved ones cannot leave anyone indifferent.
