Lydie J Haenlin

Since her retirement from teaching French literature in American universities, Lydie Haenlin has devoted her time to tell the life of common people, especially long lost family members from France and the US. She owes her dedication and expertise to the works of the "Ecole des Annales" historians that she discovered while studying at the Sorbonne. In describing the simple but significant lives of these long gone people, she gives them back a surprising and reassuring presence.
