Loved this, Santi: an inspiration to better remember my grandparents’ and their parents’ lives.
Not sure that it would feel the same for you as it did me and the wife but you might like “Everything Sad Is Untrue” by Daniel Nayeri. Iranian immigrant family, not Lebanese, but a very interesting way to tell this kind of story. It’s slightly fictionalized. The severed finger story reminded me of a similar-but-different episode in that book.
