The third novel from the author of major bestsellers "Bella Germania" and "Piccola Sicilia". "Jaffa Road" continues the story that began in the novel "Piccola Sicilia". 1948. Little Joelle finds a new home on Jaffa Road in the port city of Haifa. At the same time, for the Palestinian girl Amal, her father's orange groves in the suburbs of Jaffa have become nothing more than a memory of a lost homeland. Neither girl has any idea about the secret that not only connects them but will also determine the fate of each. Their paths will converge on one man who will play a decisive role in both their lives - Moritz, a former German soldier who renounced the war, his country, his family in Germany, his name, and himself. And for his whole life, Moritz, who became Maurice, will spend his time searching for one person - his true self. His German family, his Jewish family, his Arab family - with which of them is he truly himself, where does his main loyalty lie, and does he even have any roots at all.
Three families, three generations, three cultures - and one shared dramatic destiny. Daniel Speck invites us once again to immerse ourselves in the amazing life of the Mediterranean, but the polyphony and breadth of his new novel have become even wider, and the drama of the story of Moritz-Maurice and his loved ones cannot leave anyone indifferent.
