This book is split to 2 parts: in the POV of an Israel commander as described by a 3rd person, and the POV of a Palestinian woman in 1st person. I think the way this was written is perfectly done. Every mundane activity was fully described and it sounds silly while reading, but also it's basically showing every minor detail and that made me go crazy because that's the title and I just realized this. Also the parallels between the 1st and 2nd part of the book was amazing. The ending had me stare at the ceiling for a few minutes to absorb what happened. The dog, the gum, the woman in black, the smell of petrol, the camels!
