Henri-Pierre Roché, a French writer of considerable renown, entered this world on May 28, 1879, in the City of Light, Paris, France. This literary luminary gained widespread recognition for his captivating works, including the iconic novel "Jules and Jim" published in 1962, "Two English Girls" released in 1971, and "La grande collection" in 1990.
Throughout his life, Roché shared his heart with two remarkable women, Denise Renard and Germaine Bonnard, whom he wed in separate ceremonies. Tragically, his life came to a close on April 9, 1959, in the picturesque town of Meudon, located in the Hauts-de-Seine department of France.
