A MOVING STORY OF LIBERATION THAT SHATTERS TIRED PREJUDICES ABOUT
WOMANHOOD, SEX AND SOCIETY Josephine teaches in a high school in a
suburb of Paris. Her life is a balancing act between Xanax and
Tupperware lunches in the staff room until she walks into a
Champs-Elysee's strip club. There she learns a secret nocturnal
code of conduct; she discovers camaraderie and the joys of female
company, and she thrills at the sensation of men's desire directed
toward her. Josephine, a teacher by day, begins to lead a secret
existence by night that ultimately allows her to regain control of
her life. This delicate balance is shattered one evening by an
unexpected visitor to the club where she dances. A heartrending
reflection on a woman's image of herself, and the way others see
her, Ketty Rouf's extraordinary debut novel No Touching won the
prestigious French literary prize Prix du Premier Roman 2020 (First
Novel award)
