A never-before-translated collection by the bestselling author of
*Suite Française
*
Written between 1934 and 1942, these ten gem-like stories mine the same
terrain of Némirovsky's bestselling novel Suite Française a keen eye
for the details of social class; the tensions between mothers and
daughters, husbands and wives; the manners and mannerisms of the French
bourgeoisie; questions of religion and personal identity. Moving from
the drawing rooms of pre-war Paris to the lives of men and women in
wartime France, here we find the beautiful work of a writer at the
height of her tragically short career.
