Book Reviews of Suite Francaise
Book Review: Buy this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Why I had this on the shelf for a year I don't know. Well, not true -- I do know. I was afraid as some other reviewers have said, that it would be heavy and depressing. But it is not at all. It is a wonderful narrative and description of France in wartime -- in real time. Others have said so much -- if you have read this far, take a chance -- you won't be disappointed!
Summary of Suite Francaise
Beginning in Paris on the eve of the Nazi occupation in 1940. Suite Fran?aise tells the remarkable story of men and women thrown together in circumstances beyond their control. As Parisians flee the city, human folly surfaces in every imaginable way: a wealthy mother searches for sweets in a town without food; a couple is terrified at the thought of losing their jobs, even as their world begins to fall apart. Moving on to a provincial village now occupied by German soldiers, the locals must learn to coexist with the enemy-in their town, their homes, even in their hearts.When Ir?ne N?mirovsky began working on Suite Fran?aise, she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where she died. For sixty-four years, this novel remained hidden and unknown.
