About the author
Jeanne Benameur was born in Algeria to Algerian and Italian parents, who emigrated to La Rochelle in France when she was five. Further to a career in teaching, she worked as an editor, before devoting herself to her own writing in 2001. Her first novels, for young adult readers (Samira des quatre-routes, and Adil, coeur rebelle) were inspired by her experience as a teacher and published in the early 1990s but her first publication was the poetry collection Naissance de l’oubli (Escaping Memory).
