Susan Cahill è una scrittrice il cui lavoro esplora spesso il fascino della Francia e dell'Italia, addentrandosi nei dettagli intimi di giardini e strade all'interno di questi amati paesaggi. È anche curatrice di una serie di successo e autrice di un romanzo, intrecciando sensibilità da resoconti di viaggio con narrazioni di finzione. Marion Ranoux, parigina di nascita, integra questo con le sue capacità di fotografa e traduttrice di letteratura ceca in francese. Il suo background multiforme offre una ricca prospettiva sulla cultura e sull'espressione artistica europea.
