French-born journalist, scriptwriter and novelist Catherine Monroy has a PhD in English and several lives already under her belt. Once a correspondent for Le Monde in Prague and for Le Figaro in Budapest, she has written for French television for 20 years. Her co-written book "Anglais, nos Ennemis de toujours" (The English, our eternal enemies; 2013) humorously traces the fierce rivalry between the French and the British since the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
