Mourad is strangely torn between a desire for freedom and the fear of his worst nightmare: that of becoming an overweight bachelor with salt and pepper hair.
A tender and refreshing tale of family life, clashing cultures and belonging in France.
“A tender portrayal of manhood, Men Don’t Cry brims with humour,
distinct voices and colourful characters. Through Mourad’s shy narration, Faïza
highlights France’s elephant in the room in this timely, thought-provoking and
joyous read.”
Olumide Popoola, author of When We Speak of Nothing
