Readers everywhere were introduced to the work of Ir???ne N???mirovsky through the publication of her long-lost masterpiece, Suite Fran???aise. But Suite Fran???aise was only a coda to the brief yet remarkably prolific career of this nearly forgotten, yet hugely talented novelist, who fled Russia for Paris after the Revolution and died at Auschwitz at the age of 39. Here in one volume are four of N???mirovsky's other novels - all of them newly translated by the award-winning Sandra Smith, and all, except David Golder, available in English for the first time.

Snow in Autumn is an evocative tale of White Russian emigr???s in Paris, while in The Courilof Affair a retired Russian revolutionary recalls an infamous assassinationcommitted in his youth. Introduced by novelist Claire Messud. Read Less
