Brigitte Peskine

Brigitte Peskine (30 December 1951 – 5 September 2020) was a French author and screenwriter. Peskine began writing at the age of 23 after leaving Paris, where she had spent her childhood. She moved to Strasbourg and began working at the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques as an attaché. Four years later, she moved to Venezuela with her husband and children.

Returning to Paris in 1981, Peskine continued her career as a statistician and a novelist. In 1985, she published her first novel, Le Ventriloque with Actes Sud. Other books would follow in children's fiction and adult literature. Inspired by her daughters, she appeared on the television show La Famille Fontaine, broadcast on France 2 and France 3 from 1989 to 1990. She then devoted herself entirely to screenwriting and authoring.

Following her new career path, she purchased a house in Berry and spent her time living in Paris and Massay. Brigitte Peskine died on 5 September 2020 in Paris at the age of 68.
