The Fifth Book of Peace, by Maxine Hong Kingston - I thought I'd lost it.
Currently reading: Memory for Forgetfulness, by Mahmoud Darwish. I keep having to put it down because it's so sad and painful. And it's about the Israeli attack on Beirut in 1982, so yeah, it's a bit too much at times.
In the intro, the translator says that Darwish wrote this after the attack and dropped it off at his publisher and never read it again.
