Here is the gripping, suspenseful story of Lili, a prostitute from nowadays Jaffa, as told by Adon, the unlikely passer-by who saved her life.
It is a razor-sharp story of love and fateful struggles, set against the raw and vibrant human landscape of Jaffa. A stark and riveting account of the human experience in its many moving parts.
Author Shlomo Kalo delivers another thought-provoking masterpiece that richly explores the zeniths of man's compassion, and the depths of his depravity. A master of craft, Kalo employs honesty in conveying the rich layers of human lives and the delicacy by which their various struggles paint the city of Jaffa in vibrant hues of struggle and hope.
