In the heart of rural 1930s France, Silvio, a narrator who has squandered his fortune on travels, finds himself observing the human condition. However, his tranquility is interrupted by a tragic death in the village, which unleashes secrets from the past and youthful passions. Through shocking confessions, the novel reveals how the fire of blood can transform lives. This novel was lost among the papers of the publisher of the time and has been published for the first time in the 21st century. It is an intimate and moving story.
Irène Némirovsky was a novelist of Ukrainian Jewish origin who was born in Kiev, then in the Russian Empire. She lived more than half her life in France and wrote in French, but was denied French nationality. Arrested as a Jew under the racial laws – which did not take into account her conversion to Roman Catholicism – she died in Auschwitz at the age of 39. Némirovsky is best known for the posthumously published Suite française.
