“Going Home was a meditative read that reminded me deeply of Baldwin — that same sense of reflection, honesty, and quiet reckoning. I got lost in this book in the most beautiful way: walking the streets, seeing the plants, coming to terms with aging, understanding families, and healing from relationships.
Raja Shehadeh writes with a heightened sense of awareness — a stillness that feels both haunting and fully in the present. I could relate to his relationship with his father and mother, the tenderness and distance that coexist in family. The book is full of hope and acceptance, yet also an acknowledgment of reality — dimmed, softened, but real.
Reading it felt like sitting with myself — reflective, at peace, and awake to the small details that make life both fragile and beautiful.”
“Shehadeh is a beautiful writer. i liked the mix of personal, political, and cultural narratives he used to illustrate his walk through his hometown of Ramallah. i was easily carried along on his descriptive imagery, and enjoyed how well he wove together the various threads of his experience. i can’t handle nonfiction unless it has a strong narrative thread - and ideally a personal bent to it - and this was a smooth, informative read.”
