PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Le pays des autres is Leïla Slimani's poignant third novel and the first installment in a planned trilogy inspired by her family history. Published in 2020, it marks her debut in historical fiction, delving into themes of race, resilience, and women's empowerment as it follows a woman's struggle for autonomy amidst the backdrop of Morocco's fight for independence.
The novel follows Mathilde, a spirited young woman who moves to Morocco after World War II to join her husband, only to face isolation, harsh conditions, and mistrust as a foreigner. As the country grapples with the fight for independence, Mathilde's own struggle for autonomy mirrors the larger battle for freedom in this powerful tale of race, resilience, and women's empowerment.
