We Could Have Been Friends, My Father and I: A Palestinian Memoir by Raja Shehadeh

informative reflective slow-paced

I often feel strange trying to 'rate' a memoir. It seems weird to take someone's actual experiences and judge them as entertainment. So all I'll say for this one is it was very educational for me and gave me a lot to think about. I find it hard to get my head around some of the political and legal aspects but that's ok, obviously they're a huge part of the story and it's such a complex subject. But the personal history and reflections are something I can connect to and through them I've at least gained a little more understanding.
