Résumé :
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
