Rediscovered Holocaust Novel Garners Praise from Top Publication
Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky is a remarkable evocation of life and death in occupied France, and the first two parts of a planned five-part novel. It was written in the village of Issy-l'Evêque, where Némirovsky, her husband and two young daughters had settled after fleeing Paris. The manuscripts were kept hidden by her daughters after her death in Auschwitz—now her voice lives on in this devastating masterpiece. Suite Française received a cover review in the New York Times Sunday Book Review on April 9.
