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.

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.

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:)
