Emmanuel Macron's step-daughter has revealed she is so 'detested' in France because of her link to the country's divisive president that she considered writing her new book under a penname. 

Tiphaine Auzière, 40, published her first novel, Assises (Assizes), last week, which has since become one of France's most talked-about books. 

But the writer, a lawyer by trade, said that her connection to the current president has made her a reviled figure in France. 

She told The Times: 'There are those who detest you without knowing you, others who adore you without knowing you. You learn to live with it.' 

Auzière, whose mother Brigitte is married to Macron, said that she's been forced to have difficult conversations with her own children about how they may be treated for their grandmother's marriage. 

They seem to be coping well. 'I think that by now they, too, have learnt to live with it,' she added.
