Biography
Lydie Salvayre was born Lydie Arjona in Autainville in 1948. Her parents were exiled Spanish Republicans. She grew up in Auterive, near Toulouse, with other Spanish refugee families. She grew up speaking Spanish and in an almost totally Spanish environment. She studied literature at the University of Toulouse but then switched to medicine and qualified as a psychiatrist. She started writing in her early twenties and has since gone on to write many well-received novels, several of which have been translated into English.
