The author has successfully been able to glean most of the existing information of Nemirovsky and put her and her works in a meaningful order in the light of France
in 1930-1942....helping the reader to get the full impact of her works, especially Suite Francaise

Having read the majority of Nemirovsky's works in French, I was eager to read this book. What a disappointment! Mr. Weiss cannot make up his mind whether he is writing literary criticism or biography. His research is thin and the conclusions he draws (or attempts to draw) from the works themselves and various bits of research are extremely dubious. Mr. Weiss has jumped on the bandwagon of the success of 'Suite francaise' to sell his book. Do read Irene Nemirovsky's works and make up your mind youself about her work; I highly recommend them. As for a biography, save your money and wait for the really good biography of Nemirovsky that has just come out in French, which should be available in English in about a year.

This biography is an academic, critical study of the life and writings of Irene Nemirovsky. It is well researched. As a critical study it is directed to other professionals in literature and to their graduate students.

This great work brings to light the controversy of integration. Irene, sacrificing her Russian Jewish origins to embark on a literary career in France finds acceptance, not because of who she was but because of what she could produce. Her intrinsic value as a human being is recognized by a few but ignored by the masses as she finds her end at Auschwitz. Her works seem to be a foreshadow of her life. Am I Jewish, am I Russian, am I French, am I a woman of letters, am I a friend, am I a mother, am I a wife...or am I human debris? Tragically this book is non-fiction! A great read as a follow up to Suite Francaise, which is written by Irene.

This short biography helps the reader get a better picture of Irene Nemirovsky's background and hardships as a as a Jewish author living in France both leading up to and during the occupation before her deportation. I highly recommend reading it after reading "Suite Francaise." Her tragic and untimely death keeps us from being able to see how the rest of her serial novel (Suite Francaise) and writing would have unfolded had she survived.
