Minor Detail was such a rollercoaster of emotions. The intertwined plots are deliberate, the writing is expertly done, and the symbolism is unmatched. Adania Shibli did a fantastic job sharing the complex depth of tragedy while not sensationalizing or romanticizing it.
There is so much tucked within 144 pages that one read is not enough to fully unfold the intricacies. I'm convinced that you get from this book what you give to it. So much remains open for interpretation that any conclusion the reader arrives at is more a commentary on us rather than the book.
Minor Detail is a heart-wrenching must-read.
