Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky

Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky

Beginning in Paris on the eve of the Nazi occupation in 1940, Suite Fran aise tells the remarkable story of men and women thrown together in circumstances beyond their control. As Parisians flee the city, human folly surfaces in every imaginable way: a wealthy mother searches for sweets in a town without food; a couple is terrified at the thought of losing their jobs, even as their world begins to fall apart. Moving on to a provincial village now occupied by German soldiers, the locals must learn to coexist with the enemy--in their town, their homes, even in their hearts.

When Ir ne N mirovsky began working on Suite Fran aise, she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where she died. For sixty-four years, this novel remained hidden and unknown.

Irene Nemirovsky (1903-1942) was from a affluent banking family in Kiev, Ukraine, and escaped to France following the Russian Revolution. She began writing after attending the Sorbonne in Paris and quickly found success with David Golder, which was followed by more than a dozen subsequent books. She was regularly published in French newspapers and literary publications throughout her life. In 1942, she perished in Auschwitz. Suite Francaise was published posthumously for the first time more than sixty years later. It went on to become a worldwide bestseller, with about a million copies sold in the United States alone.
