Leïla Slimani explores, between 1945 and the present day, the destiny of a family divided between France and Morocco. Games of domination, the weight of inheritance, the place of women and questions of identity are at the heart of this virtuoso and ambitious trilogy. From one generation to the next, each of the characters struggles to find their place in a territory, a body or an imagination monopolized by others. Carried by vivid, precise writing and a powerful breath, the family fresco unfolds to touch on the universal and embrace resolutely contemporary themes.

Leïla Slimani's novelistic work is published by Gallimard Editions and translated in many countries.
