Leila Slimani - Writer

Sarah Montague speaks to Leila Slimani, one of France's most famous authors despite having written just two novels. Her first book Adele shocked readers for breaking taboos about women and sex addiction. Infanticide is the subject of her second novel Lullaby, which became a publishing sensation and has been translated into 40 languages. Sarah Montague asks Leila what draws her to such dark visions of femininity.
