When We Were Twins: A Novel

I thought this was an astonishing read, as it gave me some distance from the western perspective of what happened on 9/11 and the following wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The author, Danuta Hinc, illustrates in a senstive way what's at stake for all sides during conflict. And also how the actions of the west can easily radicalize those who want peace but feel they have no choice when their own are attacked or treated unjustly. In the end, it's the innocent who get caught fighting battles that others have started. A highly recommended novel.
