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 had already obtained her jockey license when she was 18, before she lost her first love in a racing accident a year later. 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 sirènes de Saint-Malo.[1]

Bourdin sold some 40 books in the last 25 years for a total of eight million sales. In 2011, she was in the 11th place on the French best-seller list.[4]

Bourdin died on 25 December 2022, at the age of 70.[5]
