In an act of rare humility and generosity\, Slimani offers [these women] what they’ve been deprived of: a space to tell their stories\, to exist.” —San Francisco Chronicle\n \n“I salute Leila Slimani for writing this important\, honest and brave book. . . . As a writer from a Turkish background\, I am moved by Slimani’s words. The women she talks to could just as well have been Lebanese\, Syrian\, Jordanian\, Palestinian\, Iranian\, Turkish.” ­—Elif Shafak\, New Statesman \n“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 \n\nAbout Sex and Lies \n“As revealing as Lisa Taddeo’s bestseller Three Women\, but it has a more urgent political mission.” —Evening Standard \nA fearless exposé of the secrets and lies of women’s intimate lives\, by the bestselling author of The Perfect Nanny and Adèle \n“All those in positions of authority–politicians\, parents\, teachers–maintain the same line: ‘Do what you like\, but do it in private.‘ “ \nLeila 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.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Roselle Lim
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 18th at 2pm | FREE Zoom Event\nPresented by Eastwind Books of Berkeley Book Club.\n—\nTo follow our June book club discussion\, Roselle Lim\, author of “Natalie Tan’s Book of Luck & Fortune” will join us for an online discussion of her book! Bring your questions and recipes to share! \nAbout the book:\nLush and visual\, chock-full of delicious recipes\, Roselle Lim’s magical debut novel is about food\, heritage\, and finding family in the most unexpected places.\nAt the news of her mother’s death\, Natalie Tan returns home. The two women hadn’t spoken since Natalie left in anger seven years ago\, when her mother refused to support her chosen career as a chef. Natalie is shocked to discover the vibrant neighborhood of San Francisco’s Chinatown that she remembers from her childhood is fading\, with businesses failing and families moving out. She’s even more surprised to learn she has inherited her grandmother’s restaurant.\nThe neighborhood seer reads the restaurant’s fortune in the leaves: Natalie must cook three recipes from her grandmother’s cookbook to aid her struggling neighbors before the restaurant will succeed. Unfortunately\, Natalie has no desire to help them try to turn things around—she resents the local shopkeepers for leaving her alone to take care of her agoraphobic mother when she was growing up. But with the support of a surprising new friend and a budding romance\, Natalie starts to realize that maybe her neighbors really have been there for her all along. \nAbout the Author:\nRoselle Lim was born in the Philippines and immigrated to Canada as a child. She lived in north Scarborough in a diverse\, Asian neighbourhood.\nShe found her love of writing by listening to her lola (paternal grandmother’s) stories about Filipino folktales. Growing up in a household where Chinese superstition mingled with Filipino Catholicism\, she devoured books about mythology\, which shaped the fantasies in her novels.\nAn artist by nature\, she considers writing as “painting with words.”
