From the internationally bestselling author of Lullaby, The Country of Others is perfect for fans of Elena Ferrante, Tracy Chevalier, and Maggie O Farrell.

1944. After the Liberation, Mathilde leaves France to join her husband in Morocco.

But life here is unrecognisable to this brave and passionate young woman. Her life is now that of a farmer s wife - with all the sacrifices and vexations that brings. Suffocated by the heat, by her loneliness on the farm and by the mistrust she inspires as a foreigner, Mathilde grows increasingly restless.

As Morocco s struggle for independence intensifies, Mathilde and her husband find themselves caught in the crossfire.

Leïla Slimani is the first Moroccan woman to win France s most prestigious literary prize, the Prix Goncourt, which she won for Lullaby. A journalist and frequent commentator on women s and human rights, she is French president Emmanuel Macron s personal representative for the promotion of the French language and culture. Born in Rabat, Morocco, in 1981, she lives in Paris with her French husband and their two young children.
