Description

Minor Detail by Adania Shibli – A Powerful Story of Memory and Injustice in Palestine

About the Book

Minor Detail is a haunting, beautifully crafted novel that examines the reverberations of history across time and geography. Split into two parts, the book begins with a brutal crime committed against a young Bedouin woman by Israeli soldiers in 1949. Decades later, a Palestinian woman in present-day Ramallah becomes consumed by the details of this forgotten atrocity. Adania Shibli’s spare, lyrical prose captures the quiet devastation of lives overshadowed by violence, loss, and the struggle to reclaim buried truths. This is a story about obsession, memory, and the small details that hold immense weight.
