Fiction

Over the Roofs of Jerusalem

The renowned journalist Anja Reumschüssel succeeds in telling the complex story of Israel and its two peoples in an exciting yet knowledgeable way. Told in two time periods – we accompany the protagonists in the years 2022 and 1948 – a differentiated picture of the Middle East conflict emerges that promotes understanding and gives reason to hope.

A rewarding, thought-provoking read. The award-winning author and journalist does an impressive job of bringing history to life.

  • Novel and non-fiction in one
