The third novel by the author of the big bestsellers “Bella Germany” and “Piccola Sicily”. “Jaffa Street” continues the story that began in the novel “Piccola Sicily”, 1948. Little Joelle finds a new home on Jaffa Street in the port city of Haifa. At the same time, for Palestinian Amal, her father’s orange groves in the suburbs of Jaffa became just a memory of a 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 abandoned the war, his country, his family in Germany, on his own behalf, on himself. And Moritz, who became Maurice, will spend his whole life in search of one person - his real self. His German family, his Jewish family, his Arab family - which one is he true to, where is his main allegiance and whether he has any roots at all. Three families, three generations, three cultures - and one common dramatic fate. Daniel Speck again offers to immerse himself in the amazing life of the Mediterranean, but the polyphony and panoramic nature in his new novel have become even wider, and the drama of the story of Moritz-Maurice and his loved ones cannot leave you indifferent no one.
