Israeli soldiers capture and rape a young Palestinian woman, and kill and bury her in the sand. Many years later, a woman in Ramallah becomes fascinated to the point of obsession with this ‘minor detail’ of history. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shibli, Adania","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42538283106488,"sku":"9781913097172","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781913097172.jpg?v=1734764290","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781913097172","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
