HILLERÖD, Denmark - s4story -- Tumult in Mecca: From Civil Servant to Global Business Adventurer transports readers to 1979, a year of upheaval and change.
Henrik Bertelsen, a Danish civil servant and baby boomer, is dedicated to his stable life in Copenhagen. Alongside his English wife, Sammy, they are building a co-housing community and navigating the complex adoption of a child from Indonesia. Henrik longs for peace and stability to secure his career.

But life takes an unexpected turn when he is offered the chance to renovate hospital kitchens in Saudi Arabia. His adventurer's spirit is awakened, and Henrik plunges into a world far removed from the predictable corridors of Danish bureaucracy.
As the project escalates, Henrik finds himself caught in the Mecca conflict—an armed religious uprising that places him in grave danger. Trapped between rebels and police in one of the holiest cities in the world, he must rely on his instincts to survive.
Escape brings him more than safety—it opens the door to a lucrative job offer from an American tech company, setting his life on an entirely new path. Tumult in Mecca masterfully weaves Henrik's personal quest for fulfilment with the global turbulence of 1979, capturing the tension between career and adventure, ambition and family, security and risk.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A very fascinating & intriguing novel linking Cultural Differences, work life, human relationships & society, weaving & juggling all these elements, keeping them in the air & the reader in suspense. Tumult in Mecca is a great & witty novel that will appeal to many readers.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
'Tumult in Mecca' is a snapshot of the late '70s, a comedy, a societal portrait, and a story about how things can go terribly wrong when you dive into something without fully thinking it through. The slapstick humour is balanced with the human portrayal of a man who must make tough choices and try to avoid pitfalls when the call to adventure clashes with family life. It's a time of conflicts between conservative traditions and modern liberalism, further contrasted with life in the Middle East.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hans Peter Bech writes effortlessly and confidently, crafting a novel with a fluid storytelling style that draws on humour, history, and knowledge of people and society. It's easy to feel the era and the human dilemmas and thoughts as the story unfolds, sometimes making you cringe and laugh, all aided by the smooth language.
