H. F. Patel grew up in India and moved to France as a young adult to continue her higher studies. After obtaining a master’s degree in communications and journalism from the Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, she went on to join the Embassy of India in Paris as a translator and interpreter. She later moved to the region of Lyon, where she has now been working as an English trainer and life coach for the past 20 years.
Her Parsi upbringing, coupled with her personal life path, where she has lived and assimilated two rather different cultures—Indian and French—gives her a unique perception of the people and circumstances around her.
People inspire her—she always wonders what has made them who they are, why they’ve made the choices they did, their particular circumstances, their personal fears and how, ultimately, they’ve come to be content or just resigned to their fate. Her writing is empathetic; she doesn’t believe in first impressions but rather in second chances.
Today, Havovi travels regularly between India, France and Greece. She lives with her two children, long-term partner, her menagerie of dogs and cats and her Kindle and her piles of books in a little town in south-east France.
