Minor Detail

Minor Detail by Adania Shibli is a powerful novel that explores the lasting impacts of war, violence, and memory through two interconnected stories. Set initially in 1949, it recounts a tragic event during the aftermath of the Nakba, while a modern-day protagonist in Ramallah becomes obsessed with uncovering the details surrounding that historical crime. The novel thoughtfully weaves these narratives to evoke a haunting reflection on a past that continues to resonate in the present day.
