I did enjoy the book tho, it was interesting and real, and like all good books, the images and dialogue still echoed in my mind long after I had finished it.

You might be interested in reading her other works. They’re mainly short stories. I highly recommend “Le Bal” and “David Golder”.

I enjoyed going through your blog =) It’s always a joy finding book blogs around. Was wondering whether you were familiar with shelfari?

I’m so glad you like the blog. Amu has done some wonderful advertising with his mention which has generated so much interest. I hope you’ll keep on visiting :)

I can still see them travelling in the southern part of France, trying to escape, with all those other cars on the road. I can still see the cat who jumps from the windowsill.

The suite IS incomplete. My book has a historical addition to it; Nemirovsky was captured and sent to the concentration camps. It totally gave me shivers. I think she would have tied it all together, but never got the chance.

I love this blog. Amu, at Life in the Fast Lane gave it a mention, and I am so glad he did. :-)
