A tour de force.\"  -The New York Times Book Review Beginning in Paris on the eve of the Nazi occupation in 1940, as Parisians flee the city, human folly surfaces in every imaginable way: a wealthy mother searches for sweets in a town without food; a couple is terrified at the thought of losing their jobs, even as their world begins to fall apart. Moving on to a provincial village now occupied by German soldiers, the locals must learn to coexist with the enemy-in their town, their homes, even in their hearts. When Irene Nemirovsky began working on  Suite Francaise , she was already a highly successful writer living in Paris. But she was also a Jew, and in 1942 she was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where she died. For sixty-four years, this novel remained hidden and unknown.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826058571995,"sku":"9781400096275-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8af8fcf1-e9d0-4101-ac74-43885f03943f.jpg?v=1780311777","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781400096275-secondhand-suite-francaise-a-novel","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
