About the author
Born Marguerite Lemesle in Paris on April 27, 1876, she wrote as Dominique Dunois and built a career as a French novelist in the early 20th century. Standard reference sources identify her as a French writer and confirm that Dominique Dunois was her pen name.
She is most closely associated with Georgette Garou, the novel that won the Prix Femina in 1928. That award helped fix her place in French literary history, and her work is still cataloged by major libraries and remembered in biographical references today.
Dunois died in Privas, Ardèche, on January 16, 1959. While concise biographical information is easier to confirm than detailed accounts of her personal life, the record clearly shows a writer whose name endured through her fiction and one notable literary prize.
