Anne Trager

Anne Trager loves France so much she has lived there for more than a quarter of a century and just can’t seem to leave. What keeps her there is a uniquely French mix of pleasure seeking and creativity. After many years working in translation, publishing, and communications, she woke up one morning and said, “I just can’t stand it anymore. There are way too many good books being written in France not reaching a broader audience.” That’s when she founded Le French Book in order to translate and publish some of those works in English. The company’s motto is “If we love it, we translate it,” and Trager loves crime fiction, mysteries, and detective novels.
