"Jaw-dropping.... Inspiring.... A haunting and beautifully composed book.... It blew my mind." (Lisa Taddeo, number one New York Times best-selling author of Three Women)
A fearless exposé of the secrets and lies of women's intimate lives, by the best-selling author of The Perfect Nanny, Adèle, and In the Country of Others
"All those in positions of authority—politicians, parents, teachers—maintain the same line: 'Do what you like, but do it in private.'"
Leila Slimani was in her native Morocco promoting her novel Adèle, about a woman addicted to sex, when she began meeting women who confided the dark secrets of their sexual lives. In Morocco, adultery, abortion, homosexuality, prostitution, and sex outside of marriage are all punishable by law, and women have only two choices: They can be wives or virgins. Sex and Lies combines vivid, often harrowing testimonies with Slimani's passionate and intelligent commentary to make a galvanizing case for a sexual revolution in the Arab world.

"As revealing as Lisa Taddeo’s bestseller Three Women, but it has a more urgent political mission. . . . Like Adèle did before it, this slim book of impassioned pleas, and of human impulses that resonate, is one step to more women breaking free.”—Evening Standard
“Slimani’s searing nonfiction debut unearths the deepest and most intimate secrets of a group of women in a culture where sexual autonomy is punished by law.”―Newsweek
“Impassioned . . . a call-to-arms.”―Elle
