«La voyeuse interdite» is the novel by Nina Bouraoui, published by Gallimard in hardback (143 pages, in French).
In Algiers, a teenage girl spies from her window at the men embracing in the street and the women bored behind doors. Silent before a father who does not speak to her, she turns what she sees into stories and invents herself, while death hovers around her gaze.
Published in 1991, it was awarded the Prix du Livre Inter that year.
