Our Book Tuesday pick is Salt Houses by Hala Alyan: http://qnslib.org/ralM30bE3CA

This debut novel tells the story of a Palestinian family being displaced and separated during the Six-Day War of 1967 between Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Syria — and later again during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. Scattered across the globe, the family struggles with war, assimilation, and new beginnings.
