[1] When asked about the genuine violence of her style, she answers: This is crude and painful, not crude and gratuitous. This is not about talking bodies just for the sake of it. This is sort of outburst in pain. [2]

Her play La poupée qui tousse is performed at the Théâtre de l'Opprimé in Paris, in 2003. [3]

In 2004, she receives the Grand Prix Thyde Monnier from the SGDL for her novel Vous parler d'elle (Fayard 2004). [4]

Her collection of short stories Les Bulles (Fayard, 2010) is brought to light by the same Marion Vernoux and performed at the Marigny theater in Paris in 2013. [6]

In 2015, her novel Eux (l'Olivier, 2014) receives Marie-Claire feminine novel award. [7]

She animates writing workshops within the FIT association (a woman - a roof), and writes a testimony dedicated to the women she met through the association, bringing to light their daily suffering. [8]

She regularly writes chronicles of a young mother in the magazine Parents . [9] [10]

Her collection of short stories Insecte(Fayard 2006) is translated into 25 languages. [11] My mother never dies is the translation made by Harcourt in the US. In 2016, the movie director Elsa Blayau adapts it into a short film. [12]
