Description

Set against the vibrant backdrop of a Moroccan family, Leïla Slimani's novel explores the complexities of identity, desire, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.

When Mathilde's husband Amine returns from the war, he brings with him a newfound prosperity that contrasts sharply with the hardships of their past. As they navigate the challenges of their new life, Mathilde's desire for a pool becomes an unlikely symbol of her longing for connection and compensation for the sacrifices she has made.

Through the lens of this family's struggles, Slimani sheds light on the tensions between tradition and modernity, as well as the fragility of the human psyche in the face of societal expectations.
