Title : French Suite - Irène Némirovsky - Book

Summary :

Written in the heat of history, Suite française depicts almost directly the exodus of June 1940, which tragically mixed up French families of all kinds, from the most affluent to the most modest. Irène Némirovsky skillfully tracks the countless small acts of cowardice and the fragile bursts of solidarity of a population in disarray. Chicks abandoned by their lovers, upper-class people disgusted by the populace, wounded abandoned on farms clog the roads of France, bombarded at random... Little by little, the enemy takes possession of an inert and frightened country. Like so many others, the village of Bussy is then forced to welcome German troops. Exacerbated by the presence of the occupier, social tensions and frustrations of the inhabitants are reawakened... A moving, intimate, implacable novel, revealing with extraordinary lucidity the soul of each French person during the Occupation, enriched with notes and correspondence from Irène Némirovsky, Suite française resuscitates with a brilliant and intuitive pen a raw part of our memory.
