David is not only highly intelligent but also very much in his teenage years. The only person he listens to is his godfather Aron, who has been friends with Adriana Altaras since their youth. They once considered emigrating to Israel together, which was as enticing to them as Hawaii is to surfers. However, they stayed and took advantage of the Germans' guilty conscience to travel by train for free or to get school days off. When Aron dies, the generational conflict in the Altaras family intensifies. David feels no ties to Berlin anymore and abruptly bids farewell to the Promised Land, while his mother follows him in search of her lost son, wandering between the Western Wall, the Sea of Galilee, and a kibbutz. In "Tito's Glasses," beloved by readers and celebrated by the press, the author has dedicated herself to the story of her ancestors. She tells it in a captivating, humorous, and wonderfully turbulent manner.
