France Daigle
France Daigle was born in 1953 and has always lived in the Moncton area of New Brunswick. She has published a dozen books since the release of her first, Sans jamais parler du vent, by Éditions d’Acadie in Moncton in 1983. While the poetic prose of her early books hints at a novelistic structure, this structure becomes more pronounced in La Vraie Vie (l’Hexagone/Éditions d’Acadie, 1993) and is further accentuated in her subsequent publications. Four of her novels have been translated into English. The quality of her writing has been recognized with the Pascal-Poirier Award (1991), the Éloize Award (1998 and 2002), the France-Acadie Award (1998), and the Antonine-Maillet-Acadie Vie Award (1999). In 2012, she received the Governor General’s Award for her novel Pour sûr.
