Suite Française

Némirovsky, Irène 1903-1942 (Author).

Summary: Suite Francaise chronicles life in France during the World War II Nazi invasion and occupation. Intended to be told in five parts, only the first two were completed before the author's death. The novel has been praised as a window into the lives of everyday people living through tumultuous times, and as a sensitive depiction of a major historical event. "An extraordinary novel of life under Nazi occupation - recently discovered and published 64 years after the author's death in Auschwitz. In the early 1940s, Irène Némirovsky was a successful writer living in Paris. But she was also Jewish, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz. Her two small daughters, aged 5 and 13, escaped, carrying with them, in a small suitcase, the manuscript - one of the great first-hand novelistic accounts of a way of life unravelling."--Publisher.
