Les larmes du soleil

About this book

Within the old Casbah, Leila’s search for love becomes a struggle to recover her own identity. A marriage burdened by silence and hidden wounds gives way to a passion that seems to promise rescue, until she begins to understand that freedom must grow from within. When enforced isolation interrupts everyday life, buried truths emerge. An old suitcase brings sacrifices and delayed confessions back into view, complicating the boundary between victim and aggressor and opening a difficult path towards forgiveness. Hayat Kasdi follows four generations of women who transform loss into resilience. This is the French-language edition, translated by Kamel Larabi.
