Leïla Slimani is one of the most important voices in France. Her novels are international bestsellers and award-winning. In this volume, the Goncourt Prize winner, born in Morocco, brings together six texts that are as intense as they are provocative, addressing the burning questions of our time: How do we defend the values of freedom and tolerance in an era of increasing racism and fanaticism? What responsibility does each of us bear? "I am the child of all these strangers, and I am French. I am an immigrant, a Parisian, a free woman, convinced that one can assert oneself without rejecting others.".
