House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East by Anthony Shadid

This book is a gorgeous elegy to home. I am saddened to hear that Shadid passed away this last February as I would have loved to read more of his work. He does a great job of questioning what home is while at the same time describing exactly what home is to him and how his family has gotten to where they are and what lead him back to his family home. A beautiful memoir that should be read by anyone who enjoys reading about place and how that affects the person.
