Fatéma Oufkir
Several years ago, Morrocan writer Malika Oufkir recounted her story in a book that was an Oprah’s Book Club pick and a New York Times bestseller. In this book her mother, Fatéma Oufkir, brings us her own life, from her childhood as the descendant of Berber chieftains, to her days in the gardens of King Hassan II, to Sahara desert prisons, and finally to a new life of freedom.
