Biography

Françoise Bourdin was born in Paris, France. Her father Roger Bourdin and her mother Géori Boué were both professional opera singers.[3] As a child she was interested in writing.

She started her novel, Les soleils mouillés, when she was 20.[4] Bourdin cut back on her writing as she had children. She returned to writing when she was 40 with Les sirères de Saint-Malo.[1]
