{"product_id":"sex-and-lies-1","title":"Sex and Lies","description":"In these essays, Leila Slimani gives voice to young Moroccan women who are grappling with a conservative Arab culture that at once condemns and commodifies sex. In a country where the law punishes and outlaws all forms of sex outside marriage, as well as homosexuality and prostitution, women have only two options for their sexual identities: virgin or wife. Sex and Lies is an essential confrontation with Morocco's intimate demons and a vibrant appeal for the universal freedom to be, to love and to desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Leila Slimani has a knack for breaking taboos. . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Sex and Lies is well executed: the novelist paints vivid portraits of her interviewees.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Faber \u0026amp; Faber\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 176\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Language: English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9780571377763\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 0571377769\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Leila Slimani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44484316299530,"sku":"","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9780571377763.jpg?v=1680699471","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/sex-and-lies-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
