BENOÎTE GROULT was born in Paris in 1920. She studied classical philology and then taught French Literature and Latin. Before becoming a writer in her 40s, she was a radio journalist and an editor at Elle and Marie-Claire. She is the author of six other novels, three of them written together with her sister, Flora. Groult’s bestseller, Salt on my Skin (‘Les Vaisseaux du Cœur’), published in 1988, was branded pornographic in some literary circles because of its vivid depictions of an extramarital affair and female sexuality. This pioneering text went on to raise a storm, win the hearts of millions, and was subsequently translated into 27 languages.

MO TEITELBAUM studied at London University, before abandoning her doctorate to focus on translating, writing, and researching ´lost´ histories. As well as Salt on my Skin, Teitelbaum has translated work by Jean-Luc Godard and Jean Renoir, and written many articles about strong women—including Madame Binh and Simone de Beauvoir—for the Sunday Times. Her book The Stylemakers is an in-depth study of the iconic French designer, Jean Michel Frank, and Eugenia Errazuriz, the Chilean woman who inspired him. She is currently working on the ‘lost’ history of Tota, Countess Cuevas de Vera, an Argentine feminist.
