Rose Désert: A Conversation with Violaine Huisman and Omar Berrada

In Rose désert, Violaine, depressed and approaching thirty, decides to cross the desert from Morocco to Sénégal. Throughout this unlikely and perilous journey, she reflects on loss and control. She mentally revisits her love affairs and explores her romantic and sexual awakening with a rarely equaled sincerity.

“Violaine Huisman confirms her unique style… Rose désert is not merely a book about memories or goodbyes. […] Rather, it is a proudly literary work, the account of a metamorphosis.” –Le Monde
