Life
In 2000, she publishes her first novel, Le Grenier, edited by Anne Carrière, which does not go unnoticed.[1] When asked about the genuine violence of her style, she answers: This is crude and painful, not crude and gratuitous. This is not about talking bodies just for the sake of it. This is sort of outburst in pain.[2]
Her play La poupée qui tousse is performed at the Théâtre de l'Opprimé in Paris, in 2003.[3]
In 2004, she receives the Grand Prix Thyde Monnier from the SGDL for her novel Vous parler d'elle (Fayard 2004).[4]
In the mid-2000s, she works with the movie director Marion Vernoux on an adaptation of her novel Je prends Racine, adaptation which is not produced.[5]
Her collection of short stories Les Bulles (Fayard, 2010) is brought to light by the same Marion Vernoux and performed at the Marigny theater in Paris in 2013.[6]
In 2015, her novel Eux (l'Olivier, 2014) receives Marie-Claire feminine novel award.[7]
She animates writing workshops within the FIT association (a woman - a roof), and writes a testimony dedicated to the women she met through the association, bringing to light their daily suffering.[8]
She regularly writes chronicles of a young mother in the magazine Parents .[9][10]
Her collection of short stories Insecte(Fayard 2006) is translated into 25 languages.[11]My mother never dies is the translation made by Harcourt in the US. In 2016, the movie director Elsa Blayau adapts it into a short film.[12]
