Slimani blends firsthand accounts from Moroccan women with sharp, concise journalistic insights to create a nonfiction read that never lags. Having finished this book only two days after the harrowing decision reached by the Supreme Court of the United States, certain passages read much more urgently. However, within this book lies a true beating heart, a beacon of hope that we should all advocate for.
