In 'The Last Patriarch', Najat El Hachmi presents the story of Mimoun and his daughter, who are born destined to fulfill the roles that the patriarch has assigned them, roles established for centuries. However, circumstances lead them to cross the Strait of Gibraltar and come into contact with Western customs. The protagonist, without a name, faces the challenge of understanding why her father has transformed into a despotic figure, while embarking on a journey of self-discovery and struggle for her own identity and freedom. A novel that explores the search for freedom of a young Moroccan woman and the cultural and generational clash that transforms her.
