Nathalie Léger sa vo svojej tvorbe zameriava na skúmanie okrajov príbehov a životov tvorcov, ktoré pretvára do originálnych literárnych diel. Jej štýl sa vyznačuje hlbokým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky a umeleckého procesu, často s využitím archívnych materiálov a historických postáv ako odrazových mostíkov. Légerová skúma vzťah medzi umením, životom a pamäťou, čím vytvára diela, ktoré sú zároveň intelektuálne podnetné a emocionálne rezonujúce. Jej práca nabáda čitateľov k zamysleniu sa nad tým, ako sa rozprávanie formuje a aké príbehy zostávajú skryté.
Wanda (1970) a cult film classic, exerts a fascination for artists from Isabelle Huppert to Rachel Kushner to Kate Zambreno.

Inspired by the Italian performance artist Pippa Bacca who tragically died while hitchhiking in Europe to promote world peace under the motto `marriage between different peoples and nations', symbolically wearing a wedding dress. In this incandescent short book, Leger closes the third part of a trilogy begun with Suite for Barbara Loden.
The Countess of Castiglione was considered the most beautiful woman in the world in the late-19th century, and she became the most photographed woman of her time. A fascination with her life led the writer Nathalie Leger to weave together this imaginative biography of a woman who was over-exposed but never really understood in her own era.
