Sex and Lies: True Stories of Women's Intimate Lives in the Arab World, by Leïla Slimani

2.0

Interesting slim read that elucidates repressed sexuality in Morocco and the Arab world, and highlights the ways sex perpetrates the patriarchy amid an unjust, impossibly tense societal set up that exalts virgins and considers the West corrupt—> forces people to sneak, and allows the facade of chasteness to persist. Glad there’s been more dialogue; glad to learn more. Somehow didn’t love- possibly the tone or repetition.
