Description
A new novel by the bestseller author of “Piccola Sicilia,” Daniel ShopeK. “Via Jaffa” is a dramatic family saga that won’t leave you indifferent.
1948. A Jewish girl, Joël, begins a new life in Haifa, on Jaffa Street. At the same time, Amal, a Palestinian woman, has nothing left of her homeland—only memories: her father’s orange groves. In the future, years later, a Berlin archaeologist, Nina, will come to Palermo to claim the inheritance of her missing grandfather, Moritz. There she will meet an already grown-up Joël—her Jewish aunt—and a mysterious man who insists that he is her grandfather’s son. None of them has the slightest idea about the secret that has linked them through many years and distant distances.
Three families, three generations, three cultures—and one dramatic, soul-touching fate. Daniel Shopek created a polyphonic detective novel in which every voice deserves to be heard, and the story they tell can’t leave anyone indifferent.
