Isabelle Aeschlimann has been writing consistently for over twenty years. In his living room in Grandson or in cafes, alongside his family life and a “hyper-demanding” job. An obstinacy which paid off, since his second novel received the Book Prize from the City of Lausanne in March, receiving nearly 600 votes, mainly from the French-speaking cantons. A prophet in her country, she was so after being distinguished in France, where “The secrets of our silent hearts”, then in manuscript form, was the favorite of the jury for the Grand Prix Femme contemporain in 2023, then published immediately.
