Adèle by Leïla Slimani

Lela Slimani returns with her third novel, The Perfect Nanny, following the international success of her first, The Perfect Nanny, which won the 2016 Goncourt Prize. In Adele, the Franco-Moroccan author tells the terrifying story of a Paris-based journalist whose life is consumed by infatuation.

Adèle looks to have it all: she is a renowned journalist in Paris who lives in a lovely apartment with her surgeon husband and their small boy. However, behind the surface, she is bored and possessed by an insatiable need for sex. Adèle plans her day around her adulterous affairs, coming late to work and lying to her husband about where she's been until she finds entangled in a trap of her own design. Adèle is a riveting investigation of addiction, sexuality, and one woman's struggle to feel alive. It is suspenseful, seductive, and electrically charged.
