The Life of Irene Nemirovsky by Olivier Philipponnat
Irene Nemirovsky was born in 1903 in Kiev to a well-off Jewish family. This biography traces her odyssey first to St Petersburg, where her father was a successful financier, and then, as the family was forced to flee the Russian Revolution, to Finland, Sweden and finally France in 1919. It tells the story of a 20th-century woman and of her times.
Olivier Philipponnat and Patrick Lienhardt are the authors of an acclaimed biography of Roger Stéphane. For this biography of Nemirovsky they have had unprecedented access to unpublished letters, notebooks and archives.
