Life and Career
Early Life
Valérie Perrin was born January 19, 1967 in Remiremont, France and grew up in Burgundy in a family of footballers. She moved to Paris in 1986, working odd jobs before settling with Claude Lelouch, whom she had met in 2006[1]
Career beginnings
Valérie Perrin met Claude Lelouch in 2006 after writing him a letter[1]. She collaborated with Claude Lelouch in writing the 2014 French drama Salaud, on t'aime. This is one of three[2] screenplays which she had written in collaboration with Claude Lelouch.
Forgotten on Sunday was written after a long period of free time after having worked with Claude Lelouch on Salaud, on t'aime, although she had worked on the story of the novel for several years before it was ever published by Éditions Albin Michel in 2015 and Le Livre de Poche in 2017. This book was a success; awarded a Booksellers Choice award and the Prix du Premier Roman in 2016.
Fresh Water for Flowers & translation into English
Fresh Water for Flowers was published in 2018 by Albin Michel and Les Livres de Poche in 2019. In 2020 it was translated into English by Europa Editions, where the novel became an international success. All three of her novels have been translated from French to English by Hildegarde Serle. Valérie Perrin later says that the success of Fresh Water for Flowers led to the public rediscovering her earlier work Forgotten on Sunday, and also partially attributes the success of her most recent work Three to Fresh Water for Flowers' popularity[3].
