This
month’s selection is Suite Française
by Irene Menironvsky. This extraordinary work of fiction about the
German occupation of France is embedded in a real story as gripping and complex
as the invented one. Composed in 1941-42 by an accomplished writer who had
published several well-received novels, Suite Française, her last work,
was written under the tremendous pressure of a constant danger that was to
catch up with her and kill her before she had finished. Irene Menironvsky and
her husband were deported to Auschwitz in 1942, where she died in the infirmary
at the age of 39. Join us on Tuesday, August 26, from 7 to 9 p.m. in Fireside.
