L' étrangère

the long version

"Malika a survécu. Mais quel fut le prix à payer? Comment se promener dans les rues de Paris, Marrakech, Miami ou New York, quand on a encore la peur au ventre? Quelles sensations éprove un corps de femme privé de désir pendant vingt ans?"--P. [4] of cover. "Malika Oufkir was born into extreme privilege as the daughter of the king of Moroccos closest aide, and she grew up in the palace as companion to the Moroccan princess. But in 1972, her life of luxury came to a crashing halt. Her father was executed for attempting to assassinate the king, and she and her family were locked away for two decades. After a remarkable escape, Malika and her family returned to the world theyd left behind, only to find it transformed. Living for the first time as an adult, Malika writes candidly about adjusting to the world we take for granted"--Amazon.com.
