Buy Stolen Lives: Twenty Years In A Desert Jail at 40% Off!
At the age of 5, Malika Oufkir, eldest daughter of General Oufkir, was adopted by King Muhammad V of Morocco and sent to live in the palace as part of the royal court. There she led a life of unimaginable privilege and luxury alongside the king's own daughter. King Hassan II ascended the throne following Muhammad V's death, and in 1972 General Oufkir was found guilty of treason after staging a coup against the new regime, and was summarily executed. Immediately afterward, Malika, her mother, and her five siblings were arrested and imprisoned, despite having no prior knowledge of the coup attempt.They were first held in an abandoned fort, where they ate moderately well and were allowed to keep some of their fine clothing and books. Conditions steadily deteriorated, and the family was eventually transferred to a remote desert prison, where they suffered a decade of solitary confinement, torture, starvation, and the complete absence of sunlight. Oufkir's horrifying descriptions of the conditions are mesmerizing, particularly when contrasted with her earlier life in the royal court, and many graphic images will long haunt readers. Finally, teetering on the edge of madness and aware that they had been left to die, Oufkir and her siblings managed to tunnel out using their bare hands and teaspoons, only to be caught days later. Her account of their final flight to freedom makes for breathtaking reading. "Stolen Lives" is a remarkable book of unfathomable deprivation and the power of the human will to survive.

Review by Jonathan F. Lowe
Email: JonFLowe@aol.comIf you remember the movie by the same name, starring Brad Pitt, you might enjoy hearing Norman MacLean’s masterpiece A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT, about how fly fishing unites a troubled family in western Montana in 1937. Ivan Doig narrates the story with a natural grace, his subtle insights complimenting this lyrical story about love and loss.
