Paris 2015: Françoise Verny, Cimetière du Montparnasse #9

Françoise Verny (1928–2004) – née Françoise Delthil – was an editor from a family of medical doctors. She was a practising Catholic who wrote several religious books: Le plus beau métier du monde (1990), Dieu existe, je l'ai toujours trahi (1992), Dieu n'a pas fait la mort (1994), Mais si, messieurs, les femmes ont une âme (1995), Pourquoi m'as-tu abandonnée ? (1998) and Serons-nous vivantes le 2 janvier 1950 ? (with a Preface by Patrick Modiano) (2005). I have mentioned elsewhere that Daniel Pennac satirised her as 'la reine Zabo' in La Fée carabine.
