About
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 Némirovsky'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.

Les rivages heureux = Those happy shores --
Liens du sang = Flesh and blood --
Fraternité = Brotherhood --
La femme de don Juan = Don Juan's wife --
Le sortilège = The spell --
Le spectateur = The spectator --
