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 later 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. Perrin describes this later in an interview as giving her a "backbone"[2] from which she would go on to write her first works.
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.
International succes
Valérie Perrin reached a new level of international success with the release of her second novel Fresh Water for Flowers (2018). Initially published in the original French by Albin Michel, it garnered the Maison de la Presse award. 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].
