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

4.5

A short and densely informative book exploring Shehadeh’s relationship with his father. As his father was murdered years before he wrote this, Shehadeh used his father’s papers and history to piece together the life of the man he thought he knew. This exploration revealed a fuller picture of his father, his activism, and his history.
