Castel-Bloom studied film at Tel Aviv University, which may explain the use of screenplays, and there are cinematic techniques evident in her current novel, Human Parts, which deals with an ensemble cast of characters ranging from the impoverished Kati Beit-Halahmi, a scrubwoman from Lod, to Reuven Tekoah, the president of Israel; transitions between the characters often occur as visual segues, when they pass each other on the street, or drive along the same road from different directions.
It begins with the narrative of a scrubwoman ("School for my child was my greatest dream") and ends with the conclusion of her child's story ("Manuel was killed one week before he started school by a stray bullet").
