Sex and Lies

Leïla Slimani
3.96/5 (2319 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
The first work of non-fiction in English from the prize-winning and internationally bestselling author of Lullaby and Adèle.

In these essays, Leila Slimani gives voice to young Moroccan women who are grappling with a conservative Arab culture that at once condemns and commodifies 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.
