Sarraute was born in Ivanovo, near Moscow, and passed her childhood between France and Russia. In 1909, her family moved permanently to Paris. She studied law, history, and sociology and became a lawyer. She was also equally interested in 20th century literature, especially Marcel Proust and Virginia Woolf, who greatly affected her conception of the novel. In 1925, she married Raymond Sarraute, a fellow lawyer. In 1932, she wrote her first book called "Tropismes", published in 1939 and applauded by Jean-Paul Sartre and Max Jacob. In 1941, she quit her work as a lawyer to consecrate herself to literature.
