Looking at the short life of Irene Nemirovsky it would seem that she was in the atmosphere of Ernest Heminway and his group of writers in Paris, if she did not meet and talk with them. Her prose is simple like Hemingway's and very prosaic. She was able to publish quite a lot during the time period 1928-1937 and I hope that English translations come out for her other books. This book examines a paysan community in 1930s French rural region and their complicated but tightly bound connections in pre World War II France. It was complete before her death and smuggled out of Nazi occupied France by her husband and two girls. She was born of wealthy banking family in Kiev and left for France during the Russian revolution of 1917. She was arrested in 1942 and died at Auschwitz. It would be interesting to see where her Suite Francaise would have taken her as some reviewers have compared it to a French War and Peace. I read this book in one sitting and am confident that this lady of Jewish heritage would have become one of the world's great writers if not already so. Paysan says the translator is a tough word to translate into English. They were more than just peasants or farmers but a whole rural community. The beginning of the story leaves us unexpected for the end but it is logical considering the roles of the various characters. Suite Francaise was published for the first time in France in 2006 sixty two years after its writing and contains the same rural aristocrats as in this Fire in Blood.
