Abbas Haji Getting Excited in Hebrew

How extraordinary. Hassan, Big Abbas, and Madame Mallory are currently on tour of Israel and speaking fluent Hebrew. That’s thanks to Yediot Ahronot Books and my talented Tel Aviv publisher and editor, Hilit Hamou-Meir, who bought The Hundred Foot Journey. Thanks to their hard work an interview about the complicated cultural cross currents at the heart of the book recently ran in a major local newspaper.
