This one is a fictionalized account, so it has the feel of a memoir and tracks with actual historical events. Centered is the Palestinian Christian story, which I think USians don't usually consider when they think Palestine. This seems like a good place to start. 

It covers all facets - from the Nakba, Israeli war crimes and genocide from its beginning, schooling and practicing any religion under occupation, the physical borders (and ruminations on all borders), admiration and disillusionments with his birth country and his adopted country, going home, change, being a child, having a child. It's all here. The universal human experience but with the added danger and pressure cooker of occupation by a settler colonial power still trying to this day to ethnically cleanse the land AND control the narrative. 

In the last few chapters there is a lot to think about. Hanhan talks about identity, not letting victimhood define you, and peace - both regional and personal.
