About this product

Product Information

A major event - the first paperback publication of a lost masterpiece written in 2nd WW France and telling the spellbinding story of a group of characters living under Nazi occupation. In 1941, Ir ne Nemirovsky sat down to write a book that would convey the magnitude of what she was living through, not in terms of battles and politicians, but by evoking the domestic lives and personal trials of the ordinary citizens of France. She did not live to see her ambition fulfilled, or to know that sixty-five years later, SUITE FRANCAISE would be published for the first time, and hailed as a masterpiece.Set during a year that begins with France's fall to the Nazis in June 1940 and ends with Germany turning its attention to Russia, SUITE FRANCAISE falls into two parts. The first is a brilliant depiction of a group of Parisians as they flee the Nazi invasion and make their way through the chaos of France; the second follows the inhabitants of a small rural community under occupation who find themselves thrown together in ways they never expected. Nemirovsky's brilliance as a writer lay in her portrayal of people, and this is a novel that teems with wonderful characters, each more vivid than the next. Haughty aristocrats, bourgeois bankers and snobbish aesthetes rub shoulders with uncouth workers and bolshy farmers. Women variously resist or succumb to the charms of German soldiers. 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.Irene Nemirovsky conceived of SUITE FRANCAISE as a four- or five-part novel. It was to be a symphony - her War and Peace. Although only two sections were finished before her tragic death, they form a book that is beautifully complete in itself, and awe-inspiring in its understanding of humanity.

    Item arrived quickly and was in new condition, unfortunately the item arrived damaged due to the delivery company, but I could tell this was not a fault of the seller as the item was packaged well. Just an unfortunate thing. Seller was great to communicate with, no complaints at all.

    Suite Francaise

    Wonderful book, beautifully written. I didn’t realise until I read the back cover that the author died in Auschwitz which quite upset me. Bought this copy for my granddaughter who is studying history at University as I thought she could get a feel of what it was like to experience the war

    Heavy going at first, but worth it.

    Had to read it for book group, found it difficult at first, and then interesting. Not as long as it looks as there were appendixes after. Made you have a sympathetic feeling towards what the French suffered during the war.

    Worth a read but sad for me. I could not put it down. So, a good read.
