I fell in love with Irene Nemirovsky when I first read Suite Francaise. And whilst I didn't enjoy this one quite as much it was still a really great read. I love the language that Nemirovsky uses. I find her books beautifully written and evocative. This one is the tragic love story of Ada and Harry and I wished it had a happier ending for Ada.

Lcsmcat ❤️ her books. I didn‘t know this one had been translated. Now I can recommend it to all my friends. 😀 5y
Victoria_Clyne @Lcsmcat I've always wondered what they would be like in French and how much is lost in the translation. 5y
Lcsmcat I‘ve read her in both languages but never side by side, so I don‘t know. But I think her translator does a good job. 5y
Victoria_Clyne @Lcsmcat I agree. I think the tanslator does a great job. 5y

This is how my brain works: in French, "entre le chien et le loup" (between dog and wolf) is idiomatic for "twilight." So when I saw #dusk as a prompt my brain went to this Némirovsky book. #JuneBookBugs @RealLifeReading
