Algeria

All Men Want to Know
by Nina Bouraoui

Nina Bouraoui was born in France and grew up in Algeria, until her family was forced to leave. This story traces her idyllic childhood and troubled adolescence, the impact of racial tensions and her mother's trauma, and the rebuilding of the relationship with her grandmother in France when they no longer share a common language.
