In the Night of ISIS, author Sophie Kasicki is a teacher in the suburbs of Paris. When three boys she knows leave France to fight in Syria, Sophie hopes to convince them to return, but the opposite happens.
In the midst of personal questions, Sophie allows herself to be captured by their political discourse, seeking to give meaning to her life. And, after only a few months of daily conversation, he makes the incredible decision to go to Raqqa, the capital of the Islamic State.
He takes his four-year-old son with him. There, Sophie, a volunteer at the maternity hospital, discovers ISIS's showcase city, cosmopolitan—people come from all countries to serve the caliphate—and tightly controlled by the jihadists. He gradually becomes aware: ISIS is an occupying army, Syrians are afraid, and the children he knows are now fanatical and dangerous Mujahideen who, as soon as they express their opposition, kidnap them, him and his son.
In a country where women do not even have the right to walk the streets without their legal guardian, Sophie, armed with the unconditional love of her husband, who remains in France, will face all risks to save her son and bring him back.
Sophie Kasiki was born in 1982 in sub-Saharan Africa. He was eight years old when his mother died and he was sent to France to live with his older sister in the Paris area. After her studies, Sophie became responsible for helping families as an educator. This is how he meets young men who go to Syria.
