I loved Mornings of Jenin. I listened to it, and I can only recommend listening to this book. Hearing the names said properly in Arab (I do not speak Arab) and the voice of the narrator, Suzanne Toren, really added to the life this book took into my heart. It's sad, and hard at times to listen to, and gives a whole new perspective to the Palestinian fight, if like me you had just been fed by mainstream media.
