Camilla Barnes
Camilla Barnes was born and brought up in England but moved to France when she was twenty.
Since then she has worked in many areas of the theatre in Paris ; costume and set design, stage direction and production and more recently writing and photography.
The hours spent sitting in the wings have taught her to listen to dialogue and audience reactions.
The years spent as a mother and daughter have taught her to listen to family conversations and to laugh at them when possible.
She is bilingual and writes in both English and French.
The Usual Desire to Kill
An often hilarious, surprisingly moving portrait of a long-married couple, seen through the eyes of their wickedly observant daughter.
“Poignant, funny and brilliantly told.”
“A witty, moving novel.”
“Unforgettable story about the limits of judging others.”
“Hilarious and heartbreaking”
