Stephen (havan) | 151 comments Really enjoyed the YA perspective of One More River and I even learned a bit about Israel during this period. In all fairness though I'd like to read a similar book with an Arab MC.

Does such a thing exist in English?

I tend to like my history wrapped in fiction rather than just reading the non-fiction. It not only allows one to absorb the facts but also to gain some extra empathy and understanding.

The Time of Anger has Arab as well as Jewish MCs.

Crystal | 326 comments A Thousand Splendid Suns maybe...it's adult fiction and it's set in Afghanistan/the middle east

It's quite dark and depressing at times but it's a very good book...there's some slight romance too but it's not the main focus
