SUITE FRANCAISE - IRÈNE NÉMIROVSKY KARTONIERT (TB)

The second world war classic of life under Nazi occupation. Némirovsky was sent to Auschwitz in
1942. In 1941  Irène sat down to write a book that would convey the magnitude of what she was
living through by evoking the domestic lives and personal trials of the ordinary citizens of
France. Némirovsky's death in Auschwitz in 1942 prevented her from seeing the day  sixty-five
years later  that the existing two sections of her planned novel sequence  Suite Française 
would be rediscovered and hailed as a masterpiece. Set during the year that France fell to the
Nazis  Suite Française falls into two parts. The first is a brilliant depiction of a group of
Parisians as they flee the Nazi invasion  the second follows the inhabitants of a small rural
community under occupation. Suite Française is a novel that teems with wonderful characters
struggling with the new regime. However  amidst the mess of defeat  and all the hypocrisy and
compromise  there is hope. True nobility and love exist  but often in surprising places.
