Times of London, on notable books

An interesting set of notable books, chosen by British critic Peter Kemp, from the
Times

All of these books look worth reading, but the most intense one appears to be the book discovered by the daughter of Irene Nemirovsky-- Kemp describes it thus--

The year’s great literary discovery. More than half a century after Irène Némirovsky, a Russian-born novelist deported from France under the race laws, died in Auschwitz, one of her daughters opened a leather notebook she had left behind, and found an unfinished novel. While its later parts never got beyond intensely fascinating notes, the first two sections (essentially, free-standing novellas) are masterpieces. One depicts the fall of Paris in 1940; the other, the occupation of a village deep in the French countryside. Riveting biographical material included in this book shows the night- mare conditions in which these beautifully subtle, unillusioned and generous-spirited works were composed. Written not just about a terrible cataclysm but from the heart of it, combining documentary fascination with fictional power, Suite Française is a triumph of both human indomitability and literary genius.
