The journalist also tells how the reading of the stories heard on her show could have had an impact on her private life. Especially when she heard during a recording a story of home burglary. “I immediately called my husband behind.

The couple met in 2010 on a television set, when she hosted “And if that was happiness?” and that she receives the novelist on her show. “I had invited him because I wanted to know what was hidden behind the pen of this writer, a pen that I found fascinating. And I discovered an equally fascinating man“, she had explained. “This man, he is perfect”, she confided to her colleagues after the show.
