I hope to read it this year and am a little happy to have waited as now all the hype has died down and I can hopefully just read it as a novel (albeit unfinished, though I've come across a few of those before). I will keep an eye out for this one as well. It seems there are more of her books available in the UK than in the US sadly, not that that will deter me from buying them! :)Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415242678720695754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-91046197216702743212010-03-09T10:56:01.542+00:002010-03-09T10:56:01.542+00:00I wasn't a huge fan of Suite Francaise and did...I wasn't a huge fan of Suite Francaise and didn't actually finish it.

I'm going to have to read it now to find out who's right, as I have similar reading tastes to both you and Claire... And lucky you, getting a copy from a kind fellow blogger!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-81492484357772638202010-03-09T09:20:16.301+00:002010-03-09T09:20:16.301+00:00Wonderful, Simon!

I've read Suite Francaise and Fire in the Blood and loved them both - I think Irene Nemirovsky is a great talent and one I am delighted to be seeing reissued. I hope to read David Golder soon as a kind fellow blogger is sending it to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-47974067603520703732010-03-09T00:47:43.445+00:002010-03-09T00:47:43.445+00:00I enjoyed Suite Francaise but, as you say, I think...I enjoyed Suite Francaise but, as you say, I think part of the appeal was the real-life story that went along with it. Excited by my enjoyment of it, I read <i>Fire in the Blood</i>, which had some brilliant passages but disappointed me overall. I think because of that experience, I haven't been overly eager to read any of Nemirovsky's other works. However, this sounds quite intriguing and I think I may have to overcome my self-imposed ban to try it!Claire (The Captive Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07430380065718826213noreply@blogger.com
