Book written by a Sheffield-born Yemeni

Dear Messenger,

I read a book the other day that was mentioned in The Sheffield Star. Part of it is about Sheffield and Burngreave. I found the book very exciting and funny in places. It was a fictional book about Yemeni and Iranian gangsters in the pizza takeaway business. It was also about politics.

Thought you might like to know. It is not very flattering about Arab politicians and governments, but I enjoyed seeing something written by a Sheffield-born Yemeni. It’s one little success story that shows we can do it too. The book is Pizza Wars by Ahmed Debani. Well done Ahmed and let’s have more books from local Yemenis.
