In a country where the law punishes and outlaws all forms of sex outside marriage, as well as homosexuality and prostitution, women have only two options for their sexual identities: virgin or wife. Sex and Lies is an essential confrontation with Morocco's intimate demons and a vibrant appeal for the universal freedom to be, to love and to desire.","brand":"Slimani, Leila \u0026 Lewis, Sophie","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46648303518035,"sku":"9780571355037","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/slimani-leila-lewis-sophie-leila-slimani-sex-and-lies-2020-paperback-9780571355037-58251883053395.jpg?v=1727044513","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/leila-slimani-sex-and-lies-2020-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
