As in her books, when interviewing Virginie Grimaldi, even by telephone, we often go from laughter to tears. Let her tell us the pain of losing her father, juicy anecdotes about the small world of publishing or her feeling of imposture that she can’t shake. In ten years and nine novels, she has established herself as one of the stars of French publishing with 4.5 million volumes sold.
With “Grander que le ciel”, her tenth novel, the author offers a very intimate story where she does not hesitate to lay herself bare in front of her readers. It’s the story of Elsa, a funeral advisor who has just lost her father, and Vincent, a novelist, who regularly meet at their psychiatrist’s office. A wonderful novel about life-changing encounters. Always so funny and moving.
