Description
Set against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in modern history, Minor Detail is a powerful exploration of the enduring impact of trauma and violence.
The story unfolds in two distinct yet intertwined narratives, spanning nearly three decades. A young woman's quest to uncover the truth about a brutal crime committed in the Negev desert in 1949 becomes an all-consuming obsession, driven by a sense of connection to the victim that goes beyond mere coincidence.
Through the masterful interweaving of these two narratives, Adania Shibli evokes a present forever haunted by the past, raising profound questions about the nature of memory, identity, and the long-lasting effects of historical trauma.
