Cover worn **AS FEATURED IN HRH THE DUCHESS OF COR NWALL'S BOOK CLUB, THE READING ROOM** 'A masterpiece' The Sunday Times In 1941, Irne Nmirovsky sat down to write a book that wo uld convey the magnitude of what she was living through by evokin g the domestic lives and personal trials of the ordinary citizens of France. Nmirovsky's death in Auschwitz in 1942 prevented her from seeing the day, sixty-five years later, that the existing tw o sections of her planned novel sequence, Suite Franaise, would b e rediscovered and hailed as a masterpiece. Set during the year that France fell to the Nazis, Suite Franaise falls into two par ts. 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 Franaise is a novel that teems with wonderful characters struggling with the ne w regime. However, amidst the mess of defeat, and all the hypocri sy and compromise, there is hope. True nobility and love exist, b ut often in surprising places.
