« Powerful, deeply moving…and funny! »
— Nancy Huston

She has to produce a play. Finish her thesis. Do a load of laundry. Settle a score with her forefathers and her bosses. Lead a revolution, while changing diapers. Make a birthday cake…

Like all modern-day women, the narrator of this novel is very busy. As a new single mother, she figures it out as she goes along, juggling her social isolation with existential solitude, and questions the invisible ties between her personal and collective battles.

Resolutely feminist and humanist, a novel with an inventive language and tinted with a tender humor.

Samira El Ayachi is a novelist and playwright. She lives and writes in Lille.
