Suite française |
Nemirovsky, Irene |
By the early l940s, when Ukrainian-born Irène Némirovsky began
working on what would become Suite Française—the first two parts of
a planned five-part novel—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: a month later she was dead at
the age of thirty-nine. Two years earlier, living in a small village
in central France—where she, her husband, and their two small
daughters had fled in a vain attempt to elude the Nazis—she’d begun
her novel, a luminous portrayal of a human drama in which she
herself would become a victim.

impecunious historians: Mathias, Marc and Lucien – the three

nothing and Sophia’s dead body turns up weeks later, they decide to
investigate.
