It is to hold a child "above the flames", desperately seeking to protect them and, through them, to save ourselves. Being a parent, as is the anonymous "you" in the book, is to both witness this horror and to raise children who are unaware of this terror, whose innocence seems to make perfect victims of them. But Louise Dupré makes this horror present again, while at the same time emphasising the need to go beyond it.
Ī woman, following a visit to Auschwitz, meditates on the possibility - or impossibility - of continuing to live, following the killing of millions in death camps. Suspenseful, erotic, and electrically charged, Adèle is a captivating exploration of addiction, sexuality, and one woman's quest to feel alive. Driven less by pleasure than compulsion, Adèle organizes her day around her extramarital affairs, arriving late to work and lying to her husband about where she's been, until she becomes ensnared in a trap of her own making. But underneath the surface, she is bored-and consumed by an insatiable need for sex. Adèle appears to have the perfect life: She is a successful journalist in Paris who lives in a beautiful apartment with her surgeon husband and their young son. This, her prize-winning novel, is about a sex-addicted woman in Paris who wants only one thing: to be wanted. Her widely acclaimed writing is daring and provocative, often pushing boundaries that make some people uncomfortable. She worked as a journalist at Jeune Afrique before becoming a novelist. Leïla Slimani is a Franco-Moroccan writer and journalist.
