«La voyeuse interdite» is Nina Bouraoui's first novel, published by Editions Gallimard in 1991 in paperback (142 pages, in French).
The novel is set in Algiers and portrays the distance between the public space, dominated by men, and the domestic sphere, where women wait. From behind a window, the protagonist observes the outside life and, to resist confinement, builds an imagined reality in which she also reinvents herself.
The novel won the Prix du Livre Inter in 1991.
