Das Land der Anderen

After WWII a French woman marries a Moroccan soldier and moves to his homeland. The clash of cultures, the struggle of women in a strict muslim society, and a nation that seeks independence from its colonizers. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on, but the storytelling felt a bit uneven. I was happiest when the narrative stayed with Mathilde and her daughter Aïsha.

My first Slimani that I didn't read in French, and possibly also her first one with a historical setting? Unsure if those are the reasons I liked this one less, but possibly.
