«Bled» is the novel by Tierno Monénembo, published by Seuil in paperback (198 pages, in French).
In 1980s Algeria, young Zoubida flees with her baby after being seduced and abandoned by a Frenchman. Pursued by the men of her village, who brand her a sinner, she fights to save her life and her son's. The violence of the story is not political but archaic: it springs from society and its main victims are women.
