Um Detalhe Menor by Adania Shibli

Set against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this poignant narrative weaves together two seemingly disparate timelines. The first follows a harrowing incident in 1949, where a young Bedouin girl becomes a victim of a brutal crime by Israeli soldiers in the Negev Desert. Decades later, a Palestinian woman becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth behind this forgotten atrocity. As she delves deeper into the past, her journey becomes a haunting exploration of memory, identity, and the relentless pursuit of justice in a land scarred by conflict.
