Synopsis
In 1972, Oufkir's father attempted to overthrow Morrocco's King Hussan II. Her father was executed, but she and the rest of her family--mother and five siblings-- were imprisoned for 20 years in a series of quarters that declined in comfort. Finally, on the verge of starvation, they dug an escape tunnel, only to be recaptured and imprisoned once again. This book details the horrifying experience of her family and the circumstances of her nation.

Industry Reviews
"Rich in unlikely detail...Malika Oufkir's story is also exceedingly satisfying as a narrative, providing resolution and even romance after almost unbearable adversity."
New York Review of Books - Claire Messud (05/09/2002)
"STOLEN LIVES - published as the bestseller LA PRISONNIERE in France - is Oufkir's story of exile and return. Elegantly narrated by Michele Fitoussi, literary editor of French Elle, the book does double service. It exposes the brutality of Hassan's regime, and it gives us a way to measure the tensile strength of the human spirit."
Boston Globe - Ellen Clegg (05/21/2001)
"[H]eart-stopping and suspenceful....[A] remarkable memoir..."
Talk - Amy Wilentz (03/01/2001)
