The Wandering Jewboy is a darkly comic coming-of-age novel about religion, migration, and the inheritance of exile.
Dragged across continents and belief systems by truth-seeking parents and shadowed by a broken-nosed stranger who may (or may not) be immortal, a Jewish boy grows up chasing revelation while inheriting dislocation and sunburn.
Blending satire with quiet wonder, it traces his unraveling as he learns what it means to be a wanderer in other people’s promised lands.

“A compelling and unexpected read that kept me up through the night and left me wanting more after I turned the last page.”

“A frolicking pilgrimage marked by warm intelligence, where humour and heartbreak collide. From the first page, I couldn’t resist Giles’ style.”
