Suite Française 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 Irène Némirovsky began working on Suite Française, 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. 3433584 book 2004 Suite Française total:11659|5:2951|4:4484|3:2905|2:995|1:324| 11659 43720 19014 2650 4 17 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Apr 16 19:36:46 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 07 10:05:14 -0700 2007 as it was happening.
