Bessora (born 1968, Brussels, Belgium) is a novelist and short story writer.

After a career in international finance in Geneva, she studied anthropology and wrote her first novel.

Because of her numerous stays abroad (Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, France, the United States, Gabon)[1] and her varied origins (Gabon, Switzerland, France, Germany, Poland), Bessora's writing possesses a free, demanding, and unclassifiable character.

[2] Having first dreamed of being a stewardess, Bessora later attended the HEC Lausanne, and then the Paris Dauphine University.

Following a journey in South Africa, she studied anthropology in Paris, before publishing her first novel in 1999.
