Description

'Striking.' - ELLE France'Brave.' - iNews 'Powerful.' - TLS 'Urgent.' - Evening Standard 'Original.' - Cosmopolitan n these essays, Leila Slimani gives voice to young Moroccan women who are grappling with a conservative Arab culture that at once condemns and com-modifies sex. In a country where the law punishes and outlaws all forms of sex outside marriage, as well as homosexuality and prostitution, women have only two options for their sexual identities: virgin or wife. Sex and Lies is an essential confrontation with Morocco's intimate demons and a vibrant appeal for the universal freedom to be, to love and to desire. 'Leila Slimani has a knack for breaking taboos. . . Sex and Lies is well executed: the novelist paints vivid portraits of her interviewees.' - The Times 'Slimani trusts in her outrage, in the force of her own voice, and the voices of the women she listens to.' - Guardian

Author Biography:

Leila Slimani is the author of Adele, Sex and Lies and Lullaby, which made Slimani the first Moroccan woman to win France's most prestigious literary prize, the Prix Goncourt. A journalist and frequent commentator on women's and hu-man rights, she is French president Emmanuel Macron's personal representative for the promotion of the French lan-guage and culture. Born in Rabat, Morocco, in 1981 and a citizen of France, she divides her time between Paris, Portu-gal and international commitments that take her around the globe.
