An heroic attempt to write a novel about a nightmare in which the author is entirely embedded
Anita Brookner, Spectator
Deftly translated by Sandra Smith, this is possibly the most devastating indictment of French manners and morals since Madame Bovary, as hypnotic as Proust at the biscuit tin, as gruelling as Genet on the prowl. Irène Nemirovsky is, on this evidence, a novelist of the very first order, perceptive to a fault and sly in her emotional restraint
Evening Standard
It is quite outstanding, full of beauty, pain and truth... We are lucky to have this book
Anne Chisholm, Sunday Telegraph
The facts surrounding the discovery of this book are as remarkable as its contents are magnificent... A triumph of indomitability and a masterwork of literary accomplishment
Sunday Times
Read this haunting novel, then read [Nemirovsky’s] letters in this edition to feel the full force of the work
Fiona Wilson, The Times
