Marguerite-Hélène Mahé

Marguerite-Hélène Mahé (1903 - 1996) was a French writer from Réunion, who is best known for her work Sortilèges créoles: Eudora ou l'île enchantée (fr), published first in 1952, serialised into three issues of Revue des Deux Mondes.[1] It was subsequently reissued whole, twice, in 1955 and 1985.[2] It is a pivotal work in Reunionnais literature, due to its descriptions of the lives of those enslaved on the island.[3] It was also the first novel by a Réunionese writer to use modernism and fantasy.[4] She also wrote an autobiography, which is as yet unpublished.[5]
