Virginie Grimaldi Author

Bestselling French author Virginie Grimaldi was born in Bordeaux and wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. She wrote her first novel aged eight in a green notebook with multiplication tables in the back. It was about love and the sea and a thirty-page-long sunset . . .

Today she is a huge bestseller in France - one of the top six 'most read' novelists (Le Figaro, 2018) - and has been published in more than twenty languages throughout the world.
