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. Contents: Dimanche = Sunday—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—Monsieur Rose = Mr. Rose—La confidente = The confidante—L'inconnu = The unknown soldier.
