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

4.0

Slow at times but beautifully descriptive, taking us into the mind of one of the greatest Middle East correspondents of all time. He writes about the country of Lebanon, his ancestral land, from a place of pure love and honesty. This sort of writing on the Middle East is rare and often caught up in partisanship. I learned many new words along the way as well.
