Adeline Rousseau was born in Lyon in 1986 and studied modern letters at the Sorbonne before apprenticing in the costume workshops of the Opéra national de Paris. After several years as a freelance dramaturge and translator between Paris and Montreal, she turned to fiction, weaving love stories set against the worlds of dance and music. Her work is known for intimate cityscapes, precise sensory detail, and quietly defiant heroines. She lives in the 11th arrondissement with a violinist, a retired greyhound, and too many secondhand scores, and teaches weekend writing ateliers for performers.
