I Saw Ramallah by Mourid Barghouti

dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

Beautifully written. The author is a poet and you can definitely tell through his writing in this book. You feel for his, and many Palestinian's, displacement and experience in exile. How this forces them to live with a unique way of life, lacking attachment to material things and missing out on so many memories that could have been. This truly gives you a sense of what many had to to suffer through after the Nakba of 1948 and the six day war in 1967. And also how many still live to this day.
