Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky

The concept of this book was that there should have been five parts to the book, instead there are only two.
The author was a Ukrainian born Jew and did not survive the Second World War. For me, that was an incredibly powerful set of statements, as indeed was the book. To have lived in a Country occupied by another is incomprehensible, and very thought provoking.

  1. I too enjoyed this book. One wonders what great things would have come from the author's pen had she survived and completed her 5 books and possibly others as well. Thanks for popping by my 'Family Matters' blog - I've left you a reply re-Limbs on there:)
