Book of the Month
Selection
Suite Francaise (Vintage, 2007. pap $14.95)
is an important WWII novel chronicling the German invasion and
occupation of Paris. It follows in detail the remarkable stories
of a half dozen families from several social strata through the
unknowns of an impending invasion, evacuation and return to a city
under German occupation. The reader gets attached to these
characters and the emotional trauma in their intertwining lives.
Talented and recognized author Irene Nemirovsky
had intended to write two more sections in the book but her young
life was ended in Auschwitz and the manuscript was left unfinished
and did not surface until recently.
