Jezebel by Irene Nemirovsky
A stunning novel about mothers and daughters, about vengeance, and an aging, still beautiful woman on trial for shooting her lover.In a French courtroom, the trial of a woman is taking place. Gladys Eysenach is no longer young, but she remains striking, elegant, cold. She is accused of shooting dead her much-younger lover. As the witnesses take the stand and the case unfolds, Gladys relives fragments of her past: her childhood, her absent father, her marriage, her turbulent relationship with her daughter, her decline, and then the final irrevocable act. With the depth of insight and pitiless compassion we have come to expect from the acclaimed author of Suite Francaise, Irene Nemirovsky shows us the soul of a desperate woman obsessed with her lost youth.

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.
