A poignant, short read. Its hauntingly beautiful prose left me awestruck, no words can express the importance of Minor Detail. This book stirred a lot of emotions in a short span of time. The parallels were evoking, symbolisms countless. The dread, anxiety and fear described in the second POV really stuck with me; the descriptive writing was perfect. With brutal storytelling, a tragic atmosphere and the gut-wrenching ending, I was left devastated and shaken. Definitely a must-read.

Heavy, heartbreaking, and incredibly important. I wish nothing but the worst to every Zionist allowing these atrocities to occur.

Felt incredibly tense and uneasy particularly due to the gradual build up of tension after the seemingly mundane repetition early on in part 1. Although short, it was an impactful, harrowing, and unique read that I won't be forgetting any time soon.
