«La Prisonnière» is the autobiographical memoir by Malika Oufkir and Michèle Fitoussi, published by Grasset in paperback (329 pages, in French).
Malika Oufkir, born in Morocco in 1953, was the eldest daughter of General Oufkir, a trusted man of King Mohamed V, who adopted her at age five. Raised in the palace of Rabat, her life changed after the attempted coup d'état of August 16, 1972 against Hassan II: her father was executed and she, her mother and her five siblings were confined to a prison in the desert. Twenty years of captivity and an escape attempt digging a tunnel with bare hands precede their liberation and exile.
Aimed at readers of political memoirs, contemporary history of Morocco and survival stories in extreme conditions.
Malika Oufkir is a Moroccan writer and former victim of enforced disappearance. She is the daughter of General Mohamed Oufkir and a cousin of fellow Moroccan writer and actress Leila Shenna.
