Hélène de Montferrand (born 1947 Saint-Mandé) is a French novelist.
She grew up in Algeria and studied at Nanterre and at the Sorbonne.[1] Her work continues and "resonates with echoes" the work of Jeanne Galzy[clarification needed]. She received the Goncourt prize for a first novel (not to be mistaken with the Prix Goncourt) in 1990 for Les amies d'Héloïse.[2] The novel is an exchange of letters.[3] She contributes regularly to the Lesbia magazine.[4]
