In 1981, Dormann received the Grand Prix de la ville de Paris for her work. The following year, Le Roman de Sophie Trébuchet, about Victor Hugo's mother, received the prix Kléber Haedens.[2]
In 1989, she was awarded the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française for Le Bal du dodo. Her 1999 novel Adieu, phénomène received the Prix Maurice Genevoix.[3]
