Irène Némirovsky: Her Life and Works, the first English-language biography of the author of the internationally acclaimed novel, Suite Française, is an intimate portrait of a woman who bore witness to the tragedies that befell France in the early days of the occupation, and who herself became a victim of the Nazi regime. The result of close textual analysis of her work and primary documents passed on from Némirovsky herself, this fascinating book explores a literary work that revisits in a unique way Jewish identity, exile, betrayal, and the solidarity of a persecuted people.
