Early life

Françoise Reux was born in 1957[1][2] in the French Overseas collectivity of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon to Alice and Jean Reux.[3][4] After studying French literature, in 1970, she moved to St. John's on the nearby island of Newfoundland, in Canada and soon married René Enguehard, also from Saint Pierre.[5][6]

Enguehard and her husband were involved in founding several French schools, as well as a French School Board, to manage the French-language educational facilities in Newfoundland and Labrador.[6] Enguehard joined the Télévision de Radio-Canada Atlantique, becoming their first journalist in Newfoundland in 1992.[5][7] During her time with CBC, Enguehard began publishing novels. Her first book published in 1999 was Les litanies de l'Île-aux-Chiens, was reprinted in 2001 and released in English.[6]
