Biography

An aggregée of classical letters, Andrée Martinerie began her career by translating important authors such as Fitzroy Maclean, Herman Wouk, Irwin Shaw, L.P. Hartley and Mika Waltari. In 1961 she published a first novel, Les autres jours which obtained the Prix des Libraires. She never stopped publishing novels until the tragedy that cost two of her three grandchildren (1980). The only testimony and the album she will publish after this drama will be devoted to the latter.

Andrée Martinerie was the wife of André Bertrand, a lawyer, and the mother of Christine Chambaz-Bertrand, a specialist in George Sand. She was also the mother of Geneviève Jurgensen.

gollark: They won't be happy.
