Minor Detail

Based on true events this novel is a haunting meditation on war, violence and memory. Minor Detail cuts to the heart of the Palestinian experience of dispossession, life under occupation and the persistent difficulty of piecing together a narrative in the face of ongoing erasure and disempowerment.

Summer 1949. Israeli soldiers capture and rape a young Palestinian woman, killing her and burying her in the sand. Many years later, a woman in Ramallah becomes fascinated to the point of obsession with this ‘minor’ detail of history.
