Nina Bouraoui was born in 1967 in Rennes, France. Her family then moved to Algiers, where she lived until the age of fourteen, when they returned to France. At the age of 23 she published her first novel, La voyeuse interdite(Éditions Gallimard, 1991), which sold a record 140,000 copies and won her the prestigious prix du Livre Inter 1991. It was published here as Forbidden Vision (Station Hill Press, 1998). Following this success came others: Le jour du séisme (Éditions Stock, 1999), Garçon manqué (Éditions Stock, 2000), to be published next year by University of Nebraska Press, La vie heureuse (Éditions Stock, 2002) and Poupée Bella (Éditions Stock, 2004).
