Biography
[edit]A professor of linguistics at the Sorbonne, her early literary successes led her to become a writer. Portrait de Gabriel, her first novel, was published in 1977. In 1979, she received the Prix des Deux Magots for Le Bal des débutantes[1] and the Académie Française awarded her the Prix Anaïs-Ségalas in 1980 for her work Les abîmes du cœur.
After the difficult reception of Triomphe de l'amour, she became a journalist for Paris Match, Marie Claire, and then F Magazine.[2]
She has written biographies of Thérèse of Lisieux, La Petite Princesse de Dieu (The Little Princess of God), Brigitte Bardot, and Dalida.
