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. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-12-2009; A Unique experience; This book was written by a woman as she lived during the time it took place. Interesting, obviously, to read about the resulting chaos, and eventually, life settling down to a "new normal" as the Germans occupied France. I found the...; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-21-2009; A fascinating read for a novelist; Suite Francaise is unfinished so I can't judge it as I would a completed novel. Author Irene Nemirovsky envisioned a story in five parts but only two were finished before she was deported to Auschwitz, where she died in August 1942. I...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-04-2009; The emotional dimension of war; History frequently suprises us. The best History books can give us a clear idea of the theater of war: what politicians decided, what strategists did, what happened during operations, and the tactics of armies. But none of those books...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-13-2009; Superb; This is a work of fiction, although there seems to much historical truth included in this work. This was to have written in five parts, yet the writer was arrrested and put to death in a concentration camp after completing the first two...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-01-2009; constantreader; This book was recommended to me by a friend who read it for her book club.

I found myself frantically searching through...; read full review | report as inappropriate

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-16-2008; Expected to love it, gave up on it.; I had heard such great things about this book, so was really looking forward to reading it. I read to chapter 22, then quit. I thought it was extremely boring and very slow moving. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the...; read full review | report as inappropriate
