Madeleine Henrey
31 books2 followersPublished as "Mrs Robert Henrey".
Madeleine Mathilde Henrey (1906–2004) was a French-born author of over 30 books, mainly of an autobiographical nature, that enjoyed considerable fame in post-war Britain and established rural lid-off-a-small-town titles as a genre.
Henrey was born Madeleine Gal, the daughter of a miner and seamstress, and moved as a child to Soho, in London, following her father's death. She met her future husband, Robert Henrey, at the Savoy Hotel; they were married in 1928 and their romance would prove to be a lifelong attachment lasting until his death in 1982.
Her writing career stretched from 1941 to 1979 and during this time she brought many of the events of her childhood and career to public attention.
