5.0

5/5 Stars ⭐️. Minor Detail is a haunting story told in two parts. The first half is about the assault and murder of a Palestinian girl in 1949. The second half of the book is about a young  Palestinian woman years later occupied Palestine researching the death that happened in 1949. This book is short and undeniably haunting. This book is a window into the horrors that Palestinian women and girls face under occupation from Isnotreal colonizers.

koiolee's review

I couldn't stomach the graphic details of

the child rape scene in chapter 1.

As any morally good person would, I felt nauseous listening to the details being read to me. If this were a book form, i would skip the graphic details or close the book, but i can't when it's an audiobook. I have a pretty strong stomach but i couldn't continue.
