From the author of the bestselling Suite Francaise. Le Bal is a
sharp, brittle story of a girl who sets out to ruin the mother she
hates. The Kampfs have risen swiftly up the ranks of 1930s Parisian
society. Painfully aware of her working-class roots, and desperate
to win acceptance, Madame Kampf decides to throw a huge ball to
announce her arrival to society. Her daughter Antoinette, who has
just turned fourteen, dreams of attending, but Madame Kampf is
resolved not to present her daughter to potential admirers. In a
fury of adolescent rage and despair, Antoinette exacts a swift and
horrible revenge... Snow in Autumn pays homage to Nemirovsky's
beloved Chekhov and chronicles the life of a devoted servant
following her masters as they flee Revolutionary Moscow and
emigrate to a life of hardship in Paris. As the crisis pushes the
family to the brink of dissolution, Tatiana struggles to adapt to
life in Paris and waits in vain for her cherished first snow of
autumn.
