I didn't prefer the author's writing style, however. It is extremely detailed and slow moving.
Additionally, I did not like the audiobook narrator.

Let me say that again, this is one of the most important books you will ever read!
Minor Detail explores the realities of being Palestinian during IDF military occupation. The fear, the constant overthinking, and the reminders of loss. The story follows a young Palestinian woman as she sets out to discover the truth of an article she read regarding a similar Palestinian woman. While reading about this journey, the cyclical nature of history (especially regarding this particular occupation and violence) becomes very clear.
The writing of this book was phenomenal and it did an excellent job showing the shifting landscapes of Palestine. Villages become unused parks, and walls and military checkpoints are constructed in between families.
This book incites action and I, again, believe everyone needs to read this book.

The books first starts with an Israeli soldier POV. The 2nd half is of a Palestinian woman POV. She read the article of what happens to the woman who was raped and she goes to see the more evidence. Her POV shows the reader how difficult it is for Palestinians to travel in their own land because of the occupation.
