Der Duft der Blumen bei Nacht

Passionate, captivating, beautiful: Leïla Slimani on her life between cultures. In this very personal book, Leïla Slimani recounts an unusual night spent alone in the Museo Punta della Dogana in Venice, the former customs house of the Serenissima. A place where East and West have always met and which becomes a symbol of her own story. Leïla Slimani takes us on a journey through her life. She shares stories about her family and childhood in Rabat, her daily life in Paris as a mother and writer, her experiences living between cultures, her role as a writer and socially engaged woman - and ultimately, the power of literature.
