The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan

Not long after Six Day War, three Palestinian men ventured into the town of Ramla in Israel. They were cousins, on a pilgrimage to see their childhood homes. One cousin had the door slammed in his face, one found that his house had been converted into a school. But the third, Bashir, was met at the door by a woman named Dalia, who invited him in.
