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 Nemirovsky'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.

Industry Reviews

"Luminous. . . . These accomplished tales create worlds full of secrets and treacheries. . . . "Flesh and Blood" is a masterpiece of familial subterfuge. . . . In this superlative translation, Nï¿½mirovsky's characters emerge full-fleshed, and her voice remains timeless and relevant." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for Irï¿½ne Nï¿½mirovsky

"Extraordinary. . . . Nï¿½mirovsky achieve[s] her penetrating insights with Flaubertian objectivity." --The Washington Post Book World

"Stunning. . . . [Nï¿½mirovsky] wrote, for all to read at last, some of the greatest, most humane and incisive fiction that conflict has produced." --The New York Times Book Review

"Nï¿½mirovsky's scope is like that of Tolstoy: She sees the fullness of humanity and its tenuous arrangements and manages to put them together with a tone that is affectionate, patient, and relentlessly honest." --O: The Oprah Magazine
