The author will be joined in conversation with the journalist and director of eldiario.es/andalucia Lucrecia Hevia.
Winner of the Goncourt Prize in its last edition, Leila Slimani draws on real events to invite reflection on women and their role in the family structure and in today's society, based on a horrifying crime.
