Tres bon bouquin a recommender. Juste une petit note: essayer de lire le premiere bouquin de Malika "La Prisonniere" avant de commencer l`etrangere.

Bcp bcp de joie et de plaisure de lire Malika

Malika Oufkir's first book, "Stolen Lives," was such a gripping tale of privilege, imprisonment, survival and ultimately, triumph, that this book couldn't possibly measure up. Quite frankly, the story of Oufkir's survival after her release as a political prisoner is rather mundane and normal. While that is very good news, it is a ho-hum story. I'm glad that she's doing well, and that she's enjoying a good life, but this book was boring and disjointed.

"Stolen Lives" is still one of my favorite books of all time. "Freedom: The Story of my Second Life" is a drab denouement to "Stolen Lives."

محبيتش أسلوب العرض نفسه كان من المفترض بالكتاب ده إنه يوصل لمستوى السجينة أو يكون أعلى منه لكنه للأسف محصلش كده

I had read Malika Oufkir's book, "Stolen Lives" several years ago. That book detailed her 24-year stint in Moroccan prison with her family. This book details her life after she was released from prison. It's interesting to see how she coped with her release and amazing to see all of the things that we take for granted. It is a short read but kind of disjointed.

I think if this book every time I am in an airport restroom with sinks that sense your hands and pour water automatically. Such an ordinary thing in life, now given such resonance.
