The mother of three children, one of whom lives in Melbourne, Brigitte was born in Arras, in the north of France, studied in Paris at the Sorbonne, and spent most of her career working as a teacher of English literature at Lille University. Having realised that she wasn’t meant to be a full-time retiree, she started writing short stories and then a novel, soon followed by another.
After visiting her son last January, Brigitte embarked on a solo trip from Melbourne to Sydney to explore a small section of Australia. She was so entralled by her experiences and discoveries, she was inspired to write several short stories based on her journey.
Lez’s Saturated Solitude tells the story of a moving encounter with a man who was sitting on a chair on the sidewalk, right in front of the ferry terminal at Circular Quay, Sydney Harbour.
Brtigitte’s pen name is Rolande Moreau.
