Unfortunately it also brings him face to face with Josh, who shares Anita's interests more than Daniel likes. Returning to New Zealand and starting a new job, however, Daniel soon realises he can't escape the subject so easily - especially when his old friend Martin, the author of a controversial new book, makes an appearance.Holocaust Tours is funny, fierce and unafraid: a first novel that questions what history means to us now.
