With her sister Francine Géry, they came to writing through short stories in the Bulletin des Amis de Bourg-Argental.
Books: 12 stories of women
After The liqueur of the five herbs published in 2008, subtitled Nouvelles d'autreviens du Forez-Velay-Vivarais, they wrote 4 more novels and short stories together before Francine's death in 2016. Since then, our author has taken up the pen alone to write her first novel in 2019 Les Accordailles the story of a young woman, Souveraine, from a wealthy peasant family in the Loire shortly before and during the First World War in the Pilat mountains and the Forez plain.
This novel will be followed 3 years later by At Fagotine which tells us the story of a little orphan from Lyon entrusted to her grandmother La Fagotine, a peasant from Thélis-la-Combe in the 1930s.
Today she publishes her work Gasparine with subtitles and other stories of women again and again. She tells 12 stories of women in 8 towns in the canton and 4 neighboring towns Annonay, Saint-Etienne, Saint-Marcel-lès-Annonay and the Ondaine valley.
Colorful characters, dialect… you have the impression of hearing your grandparents while reading and what changes in living conditions in such a short time…
Gasparine, it's a bit of a family story “I asked my daughter Alexa, a French teacher, to contribute to the proofreading, confides the author, and my husband also participated, the magnificent view of Bourg-Argental on the cover is the work of my husband, Marcel “
