**AS FEATURED IN HRH THE DUCHESS OF CORNWALL'S BOOK CLUB, THE
READING ROOM** 'A masterpiece' The Sunday Times In 1941, Irene
Nemirovsky sat down to write a book that would convey the magnitude
of what she was living through by evoking the domestic lives and
personal trials of the ordinary citizens of France. Nemirovsky's
death in Auschwitz in 1942 prevented her from seeing the day,
sixty-five years later, that the existing two sections of her
planned novel sequence, Suite Francaise, would be rediscovered and
hailed as a masterpiece. Set during the year that France fell to
the Nazis, Suite Francaise falls into two parts. 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 Francaise is a novel that teems
with wonderful characters struggling with the new regime. 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.
