Über diesen Titel
"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

Brilliant female rights in Arab world introduction
For me as a previliged white male who was raised in open minded Germany, the Arab world triggered not much interest in my prior life. However, with a new job that I recently took, it came that I now frequently travel to Egypt.
My personal relationship style of choice is ethical polyamory and with that I started dating an Egyptian women who is extraordinarily free spirited and strong in mind. Leilas book, although happened in Morocco, helped me a lot to understand the headwind my partner must have gone through before meeting me.
The book opened my eyes and explained many phenomena that I see in the middle east and I was not able to understand. The perspective of telling stories through secondary persons makes it tangible and relay able. I would like to thank the author for granting this intimate insight into the a women's world in modern middle east as well as standing up and getting active for these causes.
