I'll Take the Fire

Leïla Slimani

£16.99
Mia and Inés: two girls enveloped in love, trapped by social conventions of Casablanca at the dawn of the 21st century and silenced by the political 'truths' that envelop their lives. Mia - the older sister, a warrior and a pariah, her sexuality a matter of scorn, a truth to be erased. Inés - the little sister, a woman trying to carve out an identity in a Paris that derides and erases her with no way back to Morocco, a homeland her father has warned her never to return for her own sake. As these sisters struggle to find a home, a place of safety and love that holds rather than binds, this story of their lives becomes a battle for their hearts and souls.
