Lilia Hassaine's book Bitter Sun was published in Germany in March 2024 by Lenos Verlag Basel.

In a multi-faceted panorama, the French author creates a vivid, sensitively drawn picture of coexistence in the now problematic banlieues of Paris from the 1950s to the end of the 1980s and paints touching portraits of the strong mothers and their self-confident daughters who are trying to realize their dreams in their new homeland. A conversation with the author and her translator Anne Thomas.
