«Suite Francesa» is the historical novel by Irène Némirovsky published by Quinteto in paperback in 2008, with 539 pages in Spanish.
The action begins in Paris on the eve of the German invasion and follows the exodus of families fleeing by car, bicycle or on foot. Némirovsky portrays with precision anxious bourgeois, abandoned lovers and forgotten elderly people, combining the autobiographical element with a relentless vision of occupied French society.
The novel, published posthumously, remained unfinished: of the five planned parts, Irène Némirovsky only managed to write two. The work won the Prix Renaudot 2004.
For readers of historical fiction and fiction set during the Second World War and the occupation of France.
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.
