Philomène Marie Charlotte Gaudérique Félicité Ghislaine de Lévis-Mirepoix, Countess Jules de La Forest Divonne (11 August 1887 – 27 July 1978), better known by her pen name Claude Silve, was a French writer. She was a recipient of the Prix Femina, a French literary prize, in 1935 for her novel Bénédiction.
She also received the Prix Maillé-Latour-Landry of the Académie Française in 1912 for her first book, La Cité des lampes.[1]
Silve was born into a noble family, the House of Lévis (better known as the Lévis-Mirepoix), and was the sister of writer and historian Antoine de Lévis-Mirepoix.
On 29 May 1927 she married Count Joseph François Marie Jules de la Forest Divonne, thus becoming Countess Jules de La Forest Divonne,[2] though she is most commonly remembered by her pen name.
