Jaffa Road

After the success of "Piccola Sicilia," here comes the new novel by bestselling author Daniel Speck. "Jaffa Road" makes the human dimension of one of the world's greatest conflicts emotionally tangible. "The novel is a huge lesson in world history, yet so effortless, so light and understandable, that one reads it with sheer enthusiasm." Jan Weiler
