Le\u00efla Slimani\u2019s books are that kind. They are short, addictive and pack a punch. My introduction to the French Moroccan writer was through<em>&nbsp;Lullaby<\/em> (also known as <em>The Perfect Nanny<\/em> in US), translated from the French by Sam Taylor, last year. I read it in a single stretch, knowing the nanny murdered two kids, and wondering \u2018why why\u2019 with each page. Louise, the white nanny, was perfect. She was a gem. Maybe it was a mistake, and she was wrongly framed? Was it for money? The sudden transition from the murder scene to the inside lives of the Parisian couple and their nanny left me confused. How could this happen? Why, why?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Nothing rots, nothing expires\u2019 in Louise\u2019s kitchen. She is the perfect nanny, a Mary Poppins, almost making you wonder if she uses magic. When the Parisian couple, Myriam and Paul hire her to take care of their son and daughter, they are elated by how efficient she is. She cooks, cleans, help them throw dinner parties, transforms their house into a beautiful living space and takes the children to park. She is a \u2018miracle nanny\u2019 as the couple address her. She becomes part of the family, often willingly working long hours with no complains. But an unnerving tension seeps into the family. Louise stops obeying orders from Myriam (once force feeding stale chicken to the kids), role playing a secret life when the parents are away at work and charting out a future for herself, and her employers. I loved it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4402\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4402\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4402 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/adele-1.jpg\" alt=\"book review : Adele by Leila Slimani\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/adele-1.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/adele-1.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4402\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adele by Leila Slimani<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When the next Slimani book, translated by Sam Taylor once again, was published this year, I knew I would definitely read it and hopefully it might make me lose another night\u2019s sleep. It did. Her debut novel, <em>Dans le Jardin de l\u2019Ogre<\/em> (\u201cIn the Ogre\u2019s Garden\u201d) is published with a less gruesome title, <em>Ad\u00e8le<\/em>, in English. Ad\u00e8le is a 35 year old news journalist, married to a surgeon husband for nine years and living in Paris with their son. She smokes like a steam engine and is lavished with expensive gifts from her husband. Her second life is amusing and miserable, with one night stands, affairs, seducing strangers, secret phones and missing appointments because \u2018of a fuck that lasted too long\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4403\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4403\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4403 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/adele-2.jpg\" alt=\"book review : Adele by Leila Slimani\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/adele-2.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/adele-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.thebooksatchel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/adele-2.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4403\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adele by Leila Slimani<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ad\u00e8le was a more captivating character than Louise, because of her reckless ways in a perfect world. She is sex starved but her nights with strangers, acquaintances and co workers, give her little gratification. She is in a vicious circle of addiction, netted by lies and drowning in discontent. Her work at the newspaper often involve &#8216;copy-paste&#8217; from the internet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Lullaby<\/em> is finer than <em>Ad\u00e8le<\/em>, in the writing. <em>Ad\u00e8le<\/em> has some flat dialogues but these are easily overlooked by the unpredictable risky life of the eponymous character. Both books are pacy, <em>Ad\u00e8le<\/em>, more racy, and keep you entertained for their worth. Le\u00efla Slimani\u2019s strength is her ability to create interesting characters, temptingly amusing. that make you want to know them better. She makes you crave to peer into their mysterious lives, want more of them. Her characters \u2018<span style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/magazine\/2018\/01\/01\/the-killer-nanny-novel-that-conquered-france\">want things, work and sex\u2019, as Lauren Collin describes in her New Yorker piece on the writer<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I was slightly disappointed by how both her novels ended \u2013<em>&nbsp;Lullaby<\/em> &nbsp;lifted me to high clouds and threw me down at the finish line, <em>Ad\u00e8le<\/em> kept me on a thrill from the first page but on the last page, I needed more, I didn\u2019t want the novel to end. I felt angry, a wee bit, and disappointed. You know that familiar feeling when a really good friend just disappears from your life and you are left with questions, all unanswered and you start spewing theories in your mind? The very same feeling. But would I recommend the books? Did I love them?
