About the author
Writing as Max du Veuzit, Alphonsine Zéphirine Vavasseur was a French novelist best known for emotionally charged popular romances. She was born in Le Petit-Quevilly on October 29, 1876, and died in Bois-Colombes on April 15, 1952.
Her fiction was widely read and often described as sentimental novels, the kind of page-turning stories that brought love, hardship, and dramatic reversals to a broad audience. The lasting visibility of her work in library and bibliographic records suggests just how productive and successful she was under the Max du Veuzit name.
Although some listings give different birth years, major reference pages identify her as 1876–1952. Today, she is remembered as one of the notable names in popular French romantic fiction, with a large body of work that continued to circulate long after its first publication.
